    "Let down"...translates to fraud in most cases.

    Ah don't worry about Dara. He's not running in the election. I'm very annoyed though.

    There will always be those that can’t work for lots of reasons health, etc but that would be aa small minority of the population - everyone else get off your hole and contribute. No free anything. You want to see aa dr and have a medical card, pay 10 euro. You want a prescription, pay 2 euro per prescription. Nothing for free.
    same with free travel - ridiculous. heavily subsidised certainly but free? utter stupidity.

    I really dont think it would work. You thin a helicopter pilot/crew will land in unknown terrain in a rural area at nighttime without clear visibility of any obstacles?

    I see the medivac helicopter working from Athlone every day, and its an absolutely superb service, but not at night....

    You can plan out a landing site grid/network easily enough. Its all still better than hoping against hope that an small hospital with a smaller A&E can be bungled in to working.

    I've no issue with increasing the pension age, but forcing people out before that age is ridiculous. The pension age and mandatory retirement should move together, if there has to be a mandatory retirement age at all. Also, nobody seems to have mentioned doing anything about helping people get jobs in later years e.g. by fighting ageism.

    MM always a competent spokesman I've found...gift of the gab sort of thing.
    Mary Lou slacked tonight surprisingly...usually very confident in her delivery,could sell sand to the Arabs.
    I still can't look at Leo and take him seriously as a country leader,strangely awkward ..reminds me of a socially awkward nerd who shies away from company and reads a lot of books.

    Mary Lou with the first mansplain of the night. It's a bold move Cotton, let's see how it pays off.

    Well she lost my vote.

    She proved herself as one of those women who think men are stupid.

    Sexism is gross.

    Yes, but who pays for it?

    What needs to be done with the health service will never happen
    I don't think there's anyone with the balls to do it.
    So, taking that into consideration, I wont give out about my tax money being spent on people who need their cataracts done.

    I'd say fatigue is settling in at this stage. Four weeks trying not to make a verbal blunder is stressful. Hopefully we will get a four to five year government because we can't face this ****e in a year or so

    I feel Mary Lou is feeling the pace the most. A fair bit of walking and travel and I don't think her.. stamina would be the best.

    As someone in cork north central dara Murphy was a mess but the TDs in the constituency aren’t very good. The north side of cork city compared to the south side proves that. The north side doesn’t even have a ring road FFS.

    The hunters Mary Lou wants to stop are the daytime Hunter's, not the crew hunting at night

    They hunt during the day around here , very unusual now to hear of any robberies at night time , do it when everyone’s at work ,

    And back to the foxes if they have to be culled do the humane thing and shoot them with a licensed firearm

    Leo got away lightly with that question on Dara Murphy.

    Micheal doing himself more damage on that question.

    Unbelievable.
