    It is redolent of GerryA with his opening and closing words in Irish, as if blessing himself, even though we hadnt a clue what he was saying.

    Fooks sake...Leo introduced himself in Irish.

    Huh? I am not sure what speaking Irish has to do with murderous past connections...I think more of an issue that lot of people would have no clue what she is saying.

    When someone from SF starts speaking in Irish your just waiting for them to sign of with a 'Tiocfaidh ar la'

    God, i can't stand MLM with her shrill loud bully-boy school teachery voice. I'd rather listen to Leo's pompous winbaggery.

    Yep. We're going to tax everyone to emulate policies in nice places elsewhere, destroy rural communities and ultimately deliver nothing as climate change isn't just hanging on what virtue-signalling Ireland does!

    He was a disaster, waffled tbh. Had to be chased to answer on the national herd.

    Looked like he'd given up at the end.

    What would your alternative have been to the confidence and supply agreement, another General Election in 2016 ? :confused:

    It’s tough going all right. Another ill-judged party leader. Doherty would perform better on many fronts

    I wouldn't have seen a problem with a change, Brexit is in autopilot from the EU, we have no say in it.

    Housing is the big thing for me and FG in 9 years have built nothing. The first affordable housing project in as long in the entire country was announced for Cork a few months back. It's pathetic.

    Thought Mary Lou did well but should drop the childish remarks there is enough to hammer them on.

    Jesus Ryan is mad please don't let them near power.

    I just can't stand that elitist snob Leo. Martin then just reminds me too much of Ahern.

    Thought Roisin Shortall and Brendan Howlin came across the best to be honest. Wasn’t overly impressed with Mary Lou and was considering giving my number one to Sinn Fein....don’t know now.

    This.

    The Irish position was always the same regardless of who was in power. Them claiming credit for avoiding a no deal is a joke.

    On a global level we barely make a drop in the ocean of difference. But we have awful air quality In many of our towns and city. That is caused primarily by disgusting diesel. That needs to be addressed

    She didn't do too bad. I thought all the leaders did quite all right tbh. RBB with the usual populist guff however.

    Good debate overall in my opinion.

    RBB has always gone for the ‘I dressed in the dark behind a skip’ look. Shows solidarity with the common man or something.

    Increasing the carbon tax what will it actually do other than take money out of taxpayers pockets? On an individual level we can only do so much to clean up our act, industry needs to be tackled at a global level to create real change.

    What change do you believe we would have had with a second election in 2016 due to there being no confidence and supply agreement :confused:

    Are you forgetting who led the charge towards diesel in the first place? (and created the two tier motor tax system that instantly devalued "older" cars and led us to where the take has been steadily dropping for years)

    Letting a bunch like Ryan's tax obsessed Greens at the controls again isn't the answer to our local climate challenges.

    Disgusting diesel is often the only economically viable mode of transport if you live in rural Ireland. When you live 20 miles down a potholey bog road with no broadband, there isn't a whole lot of public transport available.

    Progress has been glacial. But Is ramping up now. What type of housing do you mean specifically?

    That’s the BIG Problem, Claire thought she was part of the debate team, not the moderator she was supposed to be. What’s really sad, is instead of being a moderator, she was a cheerleader for Fine Gael. Very biased and pathetic!

    She moderated it perfectly.
