There is a shortage of affordable housing, that’s down to an under supply in the market. The ‘homeless crisis’ is a myth. Crime there’s an issue with Drogheda/Hutch/Kinahan etc. Health isn’t that bad, it’s overplayed in the media.

They had a trick a few years ago where the new cars would be at a station for 5000kms and then passed to another area to make it look that they had more new vehicles than they actually had.

Yes we don't live in some failed state with corrupt militia running it like a dictatorship and living in our own filth with running water or indoor plumbing considered to be a luxury.

No surprise SF had the most cheerleaders in the audience tonight either. Tonight proves that no one need have any fear from Mary Lou in three ways as she’s hopelessly devoid of detail when anything is delved into further. In fact the public need to see more of her to expose the bluster more widely

I'm on the north Kildare/Wicklow border, and tbh I don't know anything about their candidate in North Kildare which would entice me to give her my vote, despite giving them a vote in the past more often than not. Despite boards regular shinner bashers predicting their imminent demise since forever, they seem to be eating into the vote share year on year.

I thought she was caught out a few times and poor when it came to discussing the financial side of things, but it's clear that most people feel she came out on top.
