    i know it was a bit of a shouting fest, but i think that enda kenny really dropped the ball with that crack about sinn fein and their private army. im not particularly inclined towards the big parties but i really think enda is letting the side down...he cant argue sensibly, i would have perfered gilmore he is quite business-link in the dail and debates

    is this just me? i've noticed that boards is fine geal weighted (not heavily but they give out a lot) and this is the first debate which put the most of the major parties on one side. i could be wrong but i would like opinions

    oh and by prime time i meant questions and answers

    Just starting watching it now! :o I was following the thread on P.ie and it suggests that Martin and Kenny have been very poor advocates for Lisbon.

    The no side walked it (and I'd be inclined to vote yes).

    If FG won't ditch End Kenny they should at least put Richard Bruton on the box if some serious debate needs to be won.

    Who are this Libertas crowd?

    I've been reading this http://www.indymedia.ie/article/87311 since the programme in a attempt to find out ..... seems very suspect???

    I thought I had made up my mind to vote no but this 'Libertas' crowd look like they have anything but my interests at heart?

    Don't use indymedia as a source of knowledge for goodness sake!

    I trust FF, FG, and Sinn Fein, along with "Devil" Declan :) and libertas, equally.

    Possibly everyone on that panel has their vested interests - the question is for us is to see passed all this and look at the debate at hand and how it effects us.

    Its about the treaty, and debate of it. End of. It's not your a star.

    I thought Minister Martin came out of it pretty well, Enda Kenny came across as preaching from the pulpit, as per usual.

    There's a thread on this in the EU subforum, where it belongs.
