    Marylou your biggest mistake was leaving FF. You would certainly be a minister come this day next week

    And Mary Lou falls with furlong to go !

    She looks like a horse that was entered in a 1 mile 4F race when 7F is her distance.

    How does anyone vote for Sinn Fein?

    They have zero detail on any policy and their leader is incredibly wishy washy.

    Opposition politics. That's all they're in it for as I see it

    She might have been better off not appearing in this debate. Her not giving a clear answer on the Special Criminal Courts tells me all I need to know about who's running SF!

    Why don’t they bring in a government rebate scheme for electric / hybrid cars - give us an incentive not hit us with another tax - I would love a hybrid but they are too expensive for me at the moment.

    There were rebates.

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

    Funny yet bleak. Christ lads when will we get a proper alternative!!?

    Varadkar speaks too much. Real kind of over sharing or waffling going on. He seems extremely nervous as a person.

    Was thinking of joining the surge and voting Sinn Fein. Absolutely no way after tonight. They have been properly found out.

    I don't know. Dodgy party history aside (of which they are all guilty of depending on how far you go back), she comes across as the most genuine of the three.

    The standards may not be high but we have the polished nasally spin of Leo, and Martin coming across as more as trying not to put a foot too far wrong
    i dont blame her for looking emotion, theyre all human beings at the end of the day as we pull them asunder from the safety of the internet

    He was the best of the three on that one by a margin. Left on an upbeat note off the cuff, and avoided answering the question without it being pinged back to him. Neat.

    I would be FG voter as I don’t believe anything should be free to anyone.

    But, I’m going SF this time - if we ever get to vote in Tipp, I hope Mattie gets his way - and we have a really good FF female candidate that I’m thinking of supporting but it will kill me to vote FF in - I haven’t forgot the crash and lost my house in that debacle.

    a slight exaggeration...


    ...but unfortunately, only a slight one. Grants just haven't worked in general and have been just an excuse for the building firms to up their fees- in my experience.


    Eco Eye featured a 3 bed room house in north Dublin that got exactly this €70k plus of upgrades and they qualified for €20-30k grant while actually having a wood burning stove in a built up area, you couldn't make it up how bloody crooked that is for the environement and health in the area.

    I'd call that a draw. With if anyone MM edging it.

    Nobody shone, and all performed to type.

    'You are gonna mansplain corporation tax to me' was the comment of the night, because that was what he did essentially. :)

    Poor performance from Mary Lou, her command of the issues is not good.
