      Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael are lucky RTÉ invited her to attend. Being exposed big time.

      And rightly so in fairness, but it's a bit unseemly as the other two have had a relatively easy run of it tonight.

      That was obvious from yesterday. The Quinn story reappeared shortly after it was announced she would take part.

      If I was her advisor, I would have told her to stay home. She didn't need to be there.

      Its not that they cant get over it, its that they know the terrorist character of the people that populate SF. Its understandable that younger generations may not realise that.

      Here, here. I grew up in a constituency that had a convicted terrorist who smuggled 7 tons of military grade weapons and explosives as a TD. Scum of the earth.

      Mary Lou looks very emotional. Her entire demeanour has changed in the last 5 minutes.

      looks like she's about to cry

      So is the poll numbers of Sinn Fein a blessing and a curse then ?

      The Paul Quinn issue was a disaster...she looked seriously flustered.
      MLM has been poor tonight

      I think ML will now wish she was not allowed to participate, Miriam has done a job there on her!


      I had my serioius doubts about MOC being on this tonight and I still think it's too much to have someone so close to one of the players in a general election.
      But, this debate has been entirely fair in my view and MOC was entitled to ask that question.
      MLM's woeful response will damage their vote of that I'm sure


      It's makiing me go back to working out who gets what with my vote (never FF or FG)

      I'm not sure what politician said it but the quote goes something like, "we all know what has to be done, it's about how to get re-elected after doing it".

      Yes. The sinn fein threat has been neutralised and normal ff / fg service has resumed.
