    I am no fan of Sinn Fein but what's going to happen here tonight by the non elected state mouthpiece RTE will be a disgrace

    Can't win.

    SF always the victims.

    If they have nothing to fear then why are they so afraid of been questioned by RTÉ?

    Miriam O'Callaghan simply should not be there.

    If I was Mary Lou I would have been happy to avoid this debate.
    With the poll rating and the number of candidates SF are running I do not see what Sf have to gain by it.

    She will be asked:

    - about Paul Quinn
    - about why pension here will be 65 but 66 in NI
    - about where they are going to get the money to do A, B, C.
    - about lack of Gov in the North for 3 years
    - about shadowy advisors in the RHI scandal.

    Add to that the last minute inclusion/invite.

    Seems they were all caught off guard. None of them expected a third party to come into the fray so quickly and show poll ratings putting them higher than the other two.

    No matter the outcome of tonight’s debate the SF social media echo chamber will declare an unqualified victory for Mc Donald.

    I hope Mary Lou can hold her own here she’s in for some night of it ,

    Can’t believe she didn’t turn down the invitation , it would have been a free pass

    MM "transformative change"

    As opposed to what kind of change?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,801 ✭✭✭✭suicide_circus


    pretty good start there Leo


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,710 ✭✭✭Underground


    Christ, MM is 31 years as a TD, and he's presenting himself as an agent of change. A neck like a jockeys boll*x, a real FF man.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,551 ✭✭✭SeaFields


    He's like a young Monty Burns

    No matter what they are asked... they will keep to the prepared script
