    Well the non party spinner in the spin room thinks nothing has changed, MLM still has the wind behind her.

    The first analysis said Miriam nailed Mary Lou to the wall twice.....criminal court and Quinn. Another on panel said she doesn't want her three kids paying for SF uncosted policies.

    RTE The Spin Room just called it for Mary Lou as the winner again :cool:

    How the hell does that work? She was so weak on detail and she was tripped up at least twice, yet she won!

    They called it for Enda Kenny too

    I think Leo and Martin not replying on the Paul Quinn stuff was an admission that they are a beaten docket on this stuff.

    It's pointless, nobody wins, least of all the exploited victim and their family, and everybody feels a bit dirty after it.

    The UCD students thought Mary Lou was the best, RTE thought she was the best too....

    I don't get it, am I missing something,
    Why was she the winner?

    They were party faithful, the woman on her own in red was a neutral, political scientist.

    ah come on why would they answer a question like that ? It was a Sinn Fein specific question juts like Leo varadkar and Michael Martin were asked specific questions about FF and FG Members who'd messed up. Was Mary Lou a "beaten docket" on that stuff then because she didn't reply ?

    I think the strategy of allowing MLM to participate went exactly as MM and LV hoped it would. She was playing well out of her league. She can talk the talk (Trump/Farage style) but she can't walk the walk. Her populist, soundbite approach was exposed as shallow and one dimensional.
    Excruciating to watch her squirm on the SCC and Paul Flynn questions, she didn't do herself any favours on climate change either.


    Did nobody else note that she is promising a pension for everyone at 65 and this will be possible because she is going to increase the birthrate?

    As a student of UCD myself please take their opinion with a grain of salt.

    If they had a paper cut out of Eamon Ryan on tonight’s debate they would probably claim he won.

    It’s just like MM walked away 9 years ago and after the bail out and the cleanup, he is coming back for a second go at destroying the economy

    TV3 need to show all 3 episodes of this tomorrow night just to remind the electorate.

    She was also a green and Mary Lou clearly had the worst green policy. You've to remember she has a vote.

    You're stooping to a new low. Mrs Quinn did not regard it as " pointless " when she spoke on drive time yesterday evening.

    Yes, and increasing the birth rate means more houses, more cars, more plastic in the oceans, etc. Etc.

    They were poor. Looks bad for UCD. For girl blabbed on about issues not discussed rather than giving her opinion on what was in the debate. Last girl simply stated "Mary Lou was best"... Without an explanation as to why she thought ML was winner.

    It was the only question asked that one person had an opinion on. Earlier in the campaign MM was delighted to throw this stuff up...but has found himself two points down on SF and only two ahead of FG.

    There is your reason they had no appetite tonight.

    Miriam even made the slip on the SCC, saying...Mary Lou please answer the question 'because we want to get on to the important issues affecting people.'

    They know this stuff, 'SF being a threat to the state' is no longer relevant.
