    Yeah, FG will be different.

    Just like last time, when they abolished the USC as promised.

    They’ll be the best for the taxpayer. Or should I vote for someone who will be worse for them ?

    Leo started off poorly but he’s clipping along nicely now.

    Hate to say it but Michael Martin is mopping up here, performing so much better than anyone else. Brendan Howlin doing very too, disappointed that Roisin Shortall seems to be hiding, while Mary Lou and Varadkar are having a 'mare. RBB doing well playing to the crowd.

    Are we watching the same debate? I think MM’s performance is very poor.

    Leo handled the curveball a lot better this time, than the drugs one.

    They should have been locked up when they protested on the M50.

    What have they done for the taxpayer in the last 3 years? Is a fiver a week (offset against more expensive charges) really something to be championing?

    Why will they be different next month if they're elected? What's changed?

    Don’t think Martin is fit to be Taoiseach watching this tbh. As much as I dislike Leo he is at least far more statesmanlike

    Leo is not a leader.

    He just isn't.

    Martin has been reduced to sniping from the sidelines. Every time he makes a point he walks into a haymaker.

    Supplying beef to China while paying emissions fines from the EU is completely insane.

    I'm from the country but have never heard of the 'national herd'.

    What is it? Government owned cows or something?

    Pull the other one. Leo talks jibber is about the republicans being anti British then doles out insults to them in the Brexit trade deal build up. He’s a troll of the lowest kind

    I'd have to agree here Michael Martin came across fairly badly tonight on numerous occasions, the look on his face when RBB suckerpunched him with his party pillaging the pension reserve was a sight to behold, he looked like he wanted god to take him there and then.
