Black and Tans next.

If leo has any sense, any sense at all, he should hold his hands up (which won't be a bother on him from what I've seen so far) and say we got it wrong, and hope the rest move on.

No one from Dublin but what about the rest of the country. It should have been build outside city.

The black and tans.

What a sensible subject to vote for the future of the country ffs.

I wonder will they ask about Marylou Commemorating murderers of the troubles.......

Varadkar miles ahead of the rest in terms of his figures and arguments

Yep. He’s the only one putting forward actual solutions with the costs to back them up. I think he has the advantage of knowing the books for the last 9 years though.

Howlin the best for me so far. Barry is passionate but he only talks about anecdotes rather than what we’ll actually do about it.

I've already stopped watching. It was terrible. The 2 hosts were the worst part of it, allowing it to descend into a pub row.

Matt might think he is a serious journo and tv man, but with stuff like this he looks like an amateur. He made Miriam look like Dimbleby

5 times over budget. Other vital infrastructure misses out. I hope its not forgotten.

It will be a United Ireland next......bull****. We can hardly keep ourselves afloat without paying for the north too.

Do people remember that waiting lists where fairly bad in the mid 00s....

One thing that can be said for MM is the NTPF slashed waiting times, and yes this should be done again.

In fairness do you think somebody waiting on surgery cares if they money for the surgery is going to a private hospital ?

In fairness, call it a bribe, but my missus got a call today to say that she is going to be treated in a private clinic under the NTPF. It's only been 3 years since her last appointment in a public hospital.

Too many idealogs, not enough pragmatists.

Mantis Toboggan · 30-01-2020 11:31PM

Leo will be under pressure here for his black and tan licking

shenanagans · 30-01-2020 11:31PM

FFS....Here we go a United Ireland....Do people really want this?

Eamon Ryan is a terrible, terrible speaker. He's way out of his depth in comparison with the rest.

Even Brendan Howlin has upped his game a fair bit from Claire Byrne's show.

He might be a terrible speaker, but he is saying the right things.

More than a bit shallow to focus on the way people speak.

Pick a F#CKING year!

No.

I am from a republican area of northern Ireland most people don't give a toss, n Ireland is better off draining money from the UK (at least for now).

No

Sinn Feins likely failure of a border poll would stoke problems in the North

easypazz · 30-01-2020 11:34PM

Mick Barry catholic and protestant, the country has moved on. We musyt have about 50 religions now.

MM grandstanding.

Suckit · 30-01-2020 11:34PM

Leo and Mick Barry on a par. Both fairly poor.

Let's have a vote and see. Simples.

Sir Oxman · 30-01-2020 11:35PM

Eh, they're all forgetting it's solely a decision for the UK govt when to have a border poll and if I remember right there won't be a vote in Ireland only in NI.

Leo has been very good tonight.

Agree with the rest of your statement.

CFlat · 30-01-2020 11:36PM

I'd say Eamon Ryan is the sort of person who gets up in the morning and spends a full hour deciding whether he'll have Corn Flakes or Rice Crispies.

Suckit · 30-01-2020 11:36PM

"Ehhhh yes.. what was plannedd by ehhh... ehmm.. was divisive... ehhhmmm" :rolleyes:

KrustyUCC · 30-01-2020 11:36PM

Leo actually admitted they were wrong about the RIC *shock*

shenanagans · 30-01-2020 11:37PM

We can't afford a United Ireland!

He stuttered a bit on the tans, other than that solid.

MM going on about Daddy driving a bus, not his first time.
