    I've said it before.

    It is impossible for Irish people to have an informed, rational and reasoned debate on this topic.

    I have yet to hear, read or see one.

    Lets hope tonight can be different with O'Toole at the helm.

    Although I fear it will turn into yet another shouting match.

    With Clare Daly and Ronan Mullen on the panel, I reckon it will turn into an inevitable shouting match.

    We've had 20 years to sort this out and we have only got as far as setting up "expert groups".

    As O'Toole said at the outset, our politicians are scared stiff of this topic.
    More so now than 20/30 years ago when Ireland was a more conservative place than it is now.

    How many 'expert groups' does it take?

    An expert group would need to be convened, parameters defined and a broad frame work established so another expert group could work that one out.

    It'a bit like russian dolls. But more lucrative and less useful.

    Fair play to this woman for dropping in to the studio after a hard step class down at the gym.

    They (we?) are just not capable of having a debate about this without emoting.

    I never thought I'd see myself agreeing with Clare Daly, but there you go.

    I hope I'm not the only one here irked by the pro-lifer.

    Caroline Simons speaking about mental health issues should perhaps look a little closer to home.

    Same here and no you're not.


    Although that was some exagerration by Daly in claiming that every family in the country has been affected by abortion whether they know it or not.

    I think the guy rips strips off Vincent. I'm sorry but i only watch the show when Vincent is not on it. I like the way that Fintan is so much less condescending than that other git! ;)

    Bad mistake made there by Fintan, the guy he was referring to was found guilty of sexual assault and not rape. There is a difference.
