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

    Useless. But I don’t need to even give the opportunity to the other morons to know there works have been some of the same and some different crisis...

    They are in. Of all the parties, the surest one to be part of whatever flavour of government eventuates, the Greens will be part of it. The numbers dictate it.

    I think Éamonn Ryan doesn't deserve the hate.

    Big fan of his. Think the Greens will gain some seats this time around and may get a seat in my constituency

    Honest, clear and consistent with his policies. Definitely the one I'd trust the most

    Shocking the Mary Lou is going with reducing the pension age.
    Nuts idea.

    Howlin comfortably last in the debate, Shortall OK when she did speak, but quietness overall leaves her second-bottom. Varadkar probably ahead overall, followed by Boyd-Barrett, Martin, Mary Lou and Ryan.

    Also water meter rollout under an SF Minister there, amongst other do-as-we-say-not-as-we-do stuff when crossing the border.

    Fair play to RTE, a great debate tonight. One thing they they can never be faulted on is their current affairs output.

    Nope total spoofer imo.
    Greens made a hash of things the last time in coalition I don't think people have forgotten, I have no doubt they will gain seats in Dublin but can't see too many outside Dublin.

    Homelessness.

    The biggest myth in Ireland over the last 5 years.

    Exactly. If we build 50k social housing you can bet there will be another 50k getting in line for
    there free house too. If they have to pop out a few kids to speed this up they will.

    Oh, and it will be governments fault and us the taxpayers will have to pay for it while paying 400k for house next door to them putting up with their anti-social bullsh@t.

    Claire was the only winner tonight.

    MM best debater.

    Leo played the quiet card but perhaps that was the shrewdest move.

    Mary Lou had some good moments, but the rest might as well have stayed at home.

    Mary Lou not good at all and possibly an error finishing off as gaelige. Reminds people of their murderous past connections

    Big hater of his and his party, how in the jaysus did they ever think diesel could be used as a clean fuel in private cars?

    Richard Boyd Barrett first time hearing him speak, have to said very impressed and in my view best closing statement of the night.

    Yeah I enjoyed it. I know they are easy targets but fair play to them. Cant be easy, after a long day and couple of weeks, to go on national TV and have to answer questions like that when 5-6 people are getting ready to stick the boot in. I take my hat off to the 7 of them and Claire Byrne.
