    Which could be interpreted as an admission of incitement.

    It's great to have Ivan Yates back.

    I wish Vinny Brown would come back too.

    Sinn Fein are unwilling and unable to answer any questions on the IRA. They will never gain traction until they address that dishonesty.

    Yates is gas....:D

    I can see why Higgins had no gusto for togging out for his show, not a chance on earth Yates would have given him the relatively easy ride he got last night.

    He's ok...not as dogged and precise at getting answers as McCullagh though.
    Can't see the two presenter thing catching anyone out.

    What “do” does Higgins have to be at tonight ?? Or is he grooming his bloody mutt !!! He’s a slime bag for dodging this debate. Yates would have made him faint !

    Apparently he had a far more pressing engagement than presenting himself before the people again tonight

    https://donegalnews.com/2018/10/michael-d-higgins-to-meet-supporters-in-bundoran/

    Maybe he thought Sean would be there but mixed him up with a local lad?

    :rolleyes:

    He pays corporation tax here, but as he has only recently moved back permanently, he regular tax is paid in the USA for this year.

    Same applies to any and every green card holder. No special treatment.

    I believe the normal people who post political opinions are here and were joined by those who seem attracted to threads about travellers or topics veering close to right wing kneejerk opinions. No doubt Casey has stirred it here and in other selected places, but I am genuinely seeing very little comment from the public on my feeds and zero out and about.
    Maybe I am unique.

    People would be afraid you would follow them home if they engaged you on the topic :):):) . If I knew you in real life, I would run a mile from engaging you on political topics - I'd be sticking rigidly to Monaghan and Ulster football discussion.

    = He doesn't pay tax here. Thanks for verifying.

    Meeting with fans in Bundoran Donegal apparently.

    Yep, that's more important than showing up to a debate to discuss your reelection.

    (Let's hope he left the jet at Dublin.:))
