My marks out of ten:

Michael Martin 8
Eamonn Gilmore 7
Enda Kenny 7
John Gormley 7
Gerry Adams 6

Nothing significant.. the guys pretty much just recited their mantras.. Martin tried to land a knockout blow on Adams but didnt succeed.. Adams still wishy washy on the economics.. Enda was solid without be commanding, must have been tired after flying back from Germany.. what did the rest of you think?

I thought Gilmore was poor, nothing to suggest he is a potential Taoiseach.(5)

Kenny did OK, which was above expectations. (7)

Martin and Gilmore were reasonable (6 each)

Don't like Adams to be honest so not in a good place to judge (5)

Ah I got McGurk mixed up with McGuirrick - you know the racing pundit fella -now that would have been a good show....

naw, thought M Martin came across as panicked. (and not just bec he was beside Gerry)
sam Smyth pushing FG on rte 2 - all of them are actually. not very convincing

Friday seems a long way away, Vinny.

Get on with tonight, you are starting late already.

yer man - the independent candidate comes across very well. who he?

That_Guy · 14-02-2011 11:25PM

John McGuirk looks like a cross between Ferris Bueller and Drew Carey and a cube all mashed up in one.

Skid · 14-02-2011 11:26PM

This panel don't want to talk about the debate at all.

Yeah I thought that was bizarre... thought more would have been made of that... other than that he did well I thought.. Was a bit slow in reponse to Gilmore a few times, but got there in the end.. given that he flew back from Germany today (and must have been very tired), he didnt make any mistakes.. And that is what was important..

I think from this debate more people would be convinced by Enda as a leader, than would have been before the debate.. though not hugely..

Sardonicat · 14-02-2011 11:26PM

Looks like the "relative poverty contributes to poor health outcomes" discussion is about to be reignited again. Pity he wasn't on when the Baroness was. i'd like to see him agrue his way of it with this guy.

Kathleen looks absolutely out of her head on drugs or something.

ArtSmart · 14-02-2011 11:27PM

McGurk is an excellent speaker - where's he standing?

Well, the independent candidate wants to talk about himself, and the other guy wants to talk about long term health care.

She's awful for TV.. Monotone, like a Mother Superior, pontificating.. I dont know why people have Jim Power on anymore.. his credibility as an economist is shot..

I think Vincent is losing his prime guests to RTE when they are in direct competition.. Sam Smyth and Mick Clifford on The Eleventh Hour..

Don't see Vic in him - see Stephen Fry in him more so.

That sounded like a threat. Reminded me of Goeble's "total war" in the way it was delivered.

That_Guy · 14-02-2011 11:31PM

Testicular fortitude.... What???

Have you scratched him off your famous list of economists you can trust?
