General Election TV debates

Muahahaha

Deserving of its own thread I feel, especially with FF and FG being neck and neck.
Michael Martin and Leo Varadkar about to debate now on TV3, it will be interesting to see how this plays out.

Likely to be a score draw but if Varadkar wobbles at any point it could send the campaign south pretty quick. TV3 reporting that they have a genuine hatred for each other so they'll have to keep emotions in check.

RTE will also be holding a Martin-Varadkar debate as well as one for all the party leaders together.

It’s a fair point though. Why does she believe that the ROI should have a lower pension age than the north?

Her/their grand scheme...

They won’t. For tons of reasons!

I don't know how people could be critical of a new hospital.

Surely more hospitals are only a good thing, irregardless of the price.

Far bigger waste of money in infrastructure elsewhere.

Has RBB ever given an answer without name dropping some place outside Ireland?

No, and now he's namedropping companies that would be gone by 9am if anyone did what he wanted them to do.

I want a tax cut.

How about tackle the jobseekers bill ?. It's ridiculous that people can be seeking a job for decades and have no penalties

Well don’t ask them build another hospital giving the contract to BAM

Bad add that overspend is, at least we'll have a children's hospital at the end of it.

Bertie and FF fluted about for how many years trying to get it built in his constituency... Left us with nothing but millions in consultant bills.

FF's record on health is deplorable. It involves giveaways for staff and not much else.

That's the height of it.
If the tax was being well used ok...no problem, but it is being wasted left right and centre

Pension is far too generous, it should be nearer the UK amount.

Along with the ten pound Christmas bonus rate. Not nearly the two hundred pounds like this farce of a country. We have appalling health, infrastructure, massive debt ! But hey , we are the envy of the world with our outrageous welfare system !
