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.

Look away from Varadkar and I hear Brian O'Driscoll.

So many promises Leo but while you were at the wheel the last few years you couldn't run a pissup in a brewery.

Claire couldn't hold back the smirk after Ryan finished.

Isn't homelessness on the decrease? Not by a lot but I thought I heard Murphy say it was coming down last week.

By about 1% in the last figures. Could reverse in the next month.

Eamonn rubbish. Lets see who tries to sneak a few extra seconds over his 45.

Ryan's face is very pock marked lately.

Hope he's eating his greens.

No, Brendan, thank you for sticking around 'til the end.

Eamon has been practicing in front of the mirror.

Voted Fg last time but realistically they were a disaster in the sense that homelessness is at an all time high, there is a total housing and rental crisis and healthcare has gone down hill all despite huge tax intakes. Really wanted to see MM step up here but he's too week, Leo can hold a crowd but his record says no matter how good he can talk, the country isn't benefiting from it and Mary Lou who can also talk stands for a party that are massively over promising and are unrealistic in what they want to do. More confused than ever on who to go for!

Homelessness again. How about all those working their asses off , with miserable commutes and can’t afford to buy or rent. You’ll never end homelessness and can’t. Well run countries can’t and this is a banana republic. You won’t be able to solve much , when ff or the others further to the left send us off a cliff again , remember that !

Trying to keep a straight face.

Homelessness.

The biggest myth in Ireland over the last 5 years.

Good god Ryan looks smug there!

Is Brendan really that small or is he far away?

Millionaire only not

Disagree. I have found it a really worthwhile debate to be honest - largely down to Claire keeping them (mostly) in order and calling them out where necessary

It was because were all on boards taking the piss out of them !

Blocking up the M50 in their 191 John Deeres worth about €70k. My heart bleeds. :rolleyes:

Don't be fooled by the homeless issue.

LEO
BRENDAN HOWLIN
ROISIN SHORTALL
MICHAEL MARTIN
EAMONN RYAN

in that order. Think it might have rescued a point or two for Leo off Martin in the polls.

Mary Lou is the wrong leader for SF. Pearce Doherty would be out there speaking so much better. She just likes her sound bites. No substance.

Leo for me tonight has been the best. Best of a bad bunch, but the best.

Claire is a great presenter. Really making it flow. Enjoyable overall.

They done the right thing. These people are spending years rearing beef herds to receive a paltry price for their efforts. They had to do something to for the government to stand up and notice. I realise it must be frustrating to be stuck on the m50 fair enough, but sometimes it takes drastic action.

Completely counterproductive. They closed down the beef industry earlier in the year , that was drastic action too. And what was the result? They had to back down and the factories got the blockaded cattle later in the year for less money.

Really wanted to see MM step up here but he's too weak. Leo can hold a crowd but his record says no matter how well he can talk, the country isn't benefiting from it. And Mary Lou who can also talk stands for a party that are massively over promising and are unrealistic in what they want to do. More confused then ever on who to go for! Would love MM to let out a roar or something to show the passion haha

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?

They’ve been a disgrace for the taxpayer. The others have all actively said they will target us though.
