She's not speaking up to get in (you'd hear her)

She is stone dead last in this on all grounds basically. Should have sent Shortall both times.

Roisin Shortall was way better on the RTÉ debate the other night

Watch as MM tries to charm Eamon.....The greens are going to have a great election.....and MM knows it.

Varadkar didn't speak up enough about the record drop in homelessness last month which even Father McVerry lauded.

FF/FG supporters would rather a coalition between FF/FG rather than see SF in govt. It won't happen.....not of they polled 30%

They'd much prefer a new confidence and supply rather than a coalition.

Martin's agenda exposed fairly succinctly there.

His agenda of truth?

Must say it is the first time I saw him speak with passion and honesty about a subject. He was absolutely right about Sinn Fein, and you could see by the way that Ivan and Matt reacted that they knew he hit the spot.

Leo hammering them now on the present.

If SF overtook one of FF or FG significantly?

I'm inclined to agree but you have to see how the votes fall. FF/FG combine they become one party effectively with an alternate left.

She's 1-18 on to top the poll in North Kildare last time I checked. FFs James Lawless her nearest rival, but still way behind.

Basically Murphy could don a pair of shades, put on some soul music and stoke up a doobie on this debate and she'd still be on a cake walk to be elected.

Free houses and free public transport though

Ah yeah

Can you imagine free transport...it is a sh#t show in Dublin when it's not free already

That actually looks bad..an election stunt. Why just now?

Martin has been a train wreck and I usually think he debates well

She has zero concerns about her own seat or that or her co-leader, its the other target seats she has to worry about (Gannon, O Tuathail, O'Callaghan, Whitmore)

MM looks very shaken

I wouldn't go that far.
But his digs at MLM hasn't really worked, it's kind of had the opposite he has given it back in spades.

C__MC · 31-01-2020 12:00AM

To be honest I though Martin was much better in 11 and 16
Hes been scattered and reckless in this campaign

Millionaire only not · 31-01-2020 12:00AM

Mm might as well look for his p45

His kick right back just hit the spot though.

Where another Govt control the taxes. Would you agree?

Naggdefy · 31-01-2020 12:02AM

How much do these electoral leader debates influence voters I wonder?

McMurphy · 31-01-2020 12:02AM

Micheal Martin is being rattled time and time again by Mary Lou McDonald, she's tearing him and his agenda to shreds.

They are battling for a lot of votes that can go one way or another. Very interesting.

Millionaire only not · 31-01-2020 12:03AM

Murphy won’t even be the **** on the mudguard !

C__MC · 31-01-2020 12:03AM

Leo is the big winner tonight
Hell be happy with his show and the bickering between the other two
Weather its enough to help FG, hard to say

Toibin did them damage this week........SF can only try to laugh it of. But mud sticks.

Pintman Paddy Losty · 31-01-2020 12:04AM

Another clear win for Leo in this debate.

Eamon Ryan Second. Mehole 3rd.

The rest all languishing in the lower tiers.
