    Leo really can't do sincerity. He just comes across as a posh out of touch eejit reading from a script prepared by others every time he speaks.

    MM going well, far better than the past 2 debates. MLM was better in the last 2 , just shouting tonight. Leo, to little to late and a bit flustered tonight.

    In that answer yeah but if he was that good on health as minister(along with other health minister) it wouldn’t be like it is now.

    Giving free GP care results in people taking the ultra piss with visits.

    True

    Just on the debate tonight and overall Health is a big election issue and MM scored more points in that section than the other 2

    Yeah, yeah, yeah, Mary Lou, we all know the ****ing problems in the country, the dogs on the street know....quit repeating them.

    Instead Mary Lou can you not give us one single ****ing thought through solution to any one of them, backed up with how you propose to finance same.

    Sick of ****ing listening to her.
    Sick of the three of them.
    God help our country.

    Entirely right. A middle ground between free and the current €50 is what is needed.

    You should get 1 free GP visit a year for every €10k in tax you pay.

    Whatever the rights and wrongs of how much they earn ... that is how much they earn. You won’t attract them here with high tax and levies so we won’t fill the positions

    So free GPs for everyone from Sinn Fein?

    You can't get a doctor to take you on in Dublin as things stand! And how are they going to pay for it?

    That sounds great unless you are over 65 and living in rural Ireland with the nearest hospital an hour drive away - and you don’t drive!

    There is a dreadful amount of waste in the health service like crutches that can’t be reused etc. Let’s have accountability for providing a service - go to any outpatient appointment and you can be sitting there for hours, and nobody gives a ****e. No. Accountability for a ****ty service.

    Leo being a bit flustered makes him seem a bit more human. When he gets going he is pointed in his responses. MM is too interested in elbowing FG with his points, to take down Leo rather than putting out his stall. MLM is trying to talk about the problems rather than on solutions. I'd like her to retort to the responses put to her.

    Just to point out the people of Nenagh are at the mercy of the University Hospital Limerick in terms of A&E, a hospital consistently one of the three most over crowded in Ireland. I'd argue that having limited hospital services in Nenagh is hugely harmful to their health but not for the reasons you suggest.
