    Not at home so can’t watch this on tv, I’ve now tried my laptop, phone browser and the app to watch this on rte player. Surprise surprise none of them work.

    Shame there’s not a hope in hell any licence fee questions will be put to anyone.

    What is this bull**** about more Gardai and crime. They need more prison spaces , that’s what’s needed. What fear is there , when you can’t be locked up for anything but the most serious offence?

    Leo has a point there alright. The Gardai need to be out on the streets (and doing more than easy tax and speed checks)

    Brave point to make without being challenged on it.

    That's not a bad idea actually.

    Something to be said for the US chain gang idea. Make them do something useful.

    We can't keep the criminals we do convict in our overcrowded prisons so more guards isn't going to help too much..

    Lol, Eamomn Ryan really lives up to the Green name. His policy is "the grass is greener over there", eg look at Vienna, look at Portugal. It's still better than People Before Profit I suppose.

    Nothing wrong with taking ideas from successful policies implemented in other countries.

    If they mean so much , post offices and rural Garda Stations , surely they would have foregone one year of a fiver pension increase, which is probably more of a cost than whatever pittance these closures saved !

    What I always love about this time of the electoral cycle is how they all suddenly hit upon the real problems and answers needed to solve them

    Then they get elected and it's instantly (conveniently) forgotten!
