Is adams or gormley allowed to speak?

Gormley doesn't deserve a word.

I'm presuming RTE doesn't have to give the same time to Gormley and Adams.

Beware of some posters on here talking up Michael Martin . They are only FF heads .

Enda doing well

Agree with you ..

Although I'm sure there are loads of party heads here

axer

Nicely pointed out by Adams.

Jayob10

Poor ould Gormley and Adams are certainly the spare parts here

ReacherCreature

This isn't a debate.

Adams: "I'm glad you got back to me Pat." It's all Enda, Eamon, Micheal.

Gilmore making a strong statement that Labour won't repossess houses in recession.

Hear, this is seriously dreadful programme. If I tried I couldn't make the format worse.

What would you have done so? Put a load of FF heads in there to talk up Michael Martin?

Its a debate - everyone should be given the chance.

In fairness, they did it well in the British BBC debate: Dimblebey called on the audience member, they smartly read out their pre-approved concise question, and sat down. I thought it was nice as it gave a personal touch to the debate, without the audience time wasting we will no doubt be seeing a lot tonight on Frontline.

You forget that the BBC have some degree of professionalism.

InReality

Good point on donations there by gormley.

namloc1980

This is a crap "debate".

kev9100

Well this is awful.

Do you think Enda is wearing his pair of Calvin Kline's....

that made me laugh, that shows you how serious this debate is if we are only interested in Endas underwear !!!

Psychedelic

4 of them wearing the same dark suit, blue shirt and red tie...

Til now.

This is not a real debate everyone should get an equal chance

deelite

With the exception of Gormley all the lads have pink/red ties - I wonder what the research is behind that...

axer

Go on Enda - taking control

Balmed Out

what was that about fg taking something from first time buyers?

Sad Professor

Martin confusing Gerry with figures.

lilbelter

Down Micheal! Or ul feel the wrath of Enda!

bradlente

Red is a very positive colour which is used to express confidence

cutymonalisa

"Honest, realistic and credible" - Martin is a comedian:D

MagicMarker

lol, Martin throwing a few digs!!

ReacherCreature

Excellent. Martin is tearing strips off of Adams.

Dinner

Micheal getting the boot in on Gerry there!

Newaglish

Haha, cringey political humour. I love it.

amacachi

I wish Micheal Martin wasn't in FF, I'd feel a lot less guilty then.

dedon

Makes me sick looking at a Fianna Failer. The nerve of Martin to stand there.

He should be booed and egged up there.

axer

Nice come back by Adams.

Drumpot

Martin was too cute for Adams . .

Adams doesnt have a clue what hes talking about ! !

Worst Debate format ever. Very hard to get any real discussion. Everyone is failing with this except Enda - as he gets to keep quiet and just read the rehearsed line.

Yeah, let the banks do nothing but pay themselves bounus instead of giving risky loans to small businesses.

Lets get rid of toxix SF - when did they decide to recogonise the free state anyway?

rainyrun

I must say Enda is coming across very well. highly credible and authoritative!! Michael Martin sounds whiny....

Dont vote FF, but dont stop them from showing up the falacy of some of the other parties populist policies . .

Excellent. why? What is excellent about FF? They have destroyed our country.

Nothing excellent about FF at all. Shower of krooks.

lilbelter

Gormley isn't in touch with reality at all....

Psychedelic

It feels like Adams is just there for comic relief.

i think they want to take the money from FTB's (via cuts or taxes) to help those in mortgage arrears.

Jayob10

surely people can't accept Sinn Fein policies as legit, factually the figures do not ad up, that needs to be nipped in the bud once and for all FFS

axer

Does adams look like he needs to pi$$ badly?

Drumpot

Yes yes yes . .

We all know the bank bailout was morally unsound but what was the alternative ? I am sure there possibly was one, but nobody on stage has offered it ! ! Does nobody else see the ridiculous nature of these kind of answers . .

Lapin

Who's winning so far ?

I'm nowhere near a tv
