    Yates and Copper need to STFU and learn when to speak

    I'm voting for the first politician to step forward and knock Yates and cooper the fcuk out...
    Utter disgrace giving these two little bellends a soapbox to rant. It's bad when you find yourself respecting the politicians composure as they are being abused...

    I hope Yates and his little terrier cooper get culled from the media permanently. They're an embarrassment

    PBP looking to get people out protesting and I'd say there will have the collection buckets with them. Like every water protest

    I'm still wondering where the Jobstown Not Guilty money went since they all had free legal aid ?
    Mary Lou ****ing on about banks not paying tax while it was fact checked as BS during the week.

    Soundbites for Marylou.


    Can't wait till they ask about €65k houses......

    Everyone very highly strung tonight thanks to Ivan & Matt!


    Matt is trying to be Angry Young Man, sort of a Paul Murphy impersonation. Only watched the last three minutes since the break and think it is an appalling way to run a debate.

    You can hold people to account without abusing and harrying them. It wasn't always Cooper's style, he's a Yates wannabe

    Are "the 17 billionaires" going to be the Solidarity/PBP soundbite for the rest of the campaign?

    Thats not true. Development plans are drawn up by councils every 4 or 5 years and the council plan where they want retail, residential, commercial, education etc. It's not decided by the developers/builders.
