    Don't like Martin McGuinness at all. Something very sneaky about him. Being honest though there's something sneaky about all of them. Totally undecided as to who I'll vote for :confused:

    The sickening hypocrisy of McGuinness sticks in my guts, he points the finger directly at Gallagher warning him that the evidence will be produced by his SF friend, and yet McGuinness himself is steeped in blood & refuses to accept that the PIRA deaths were murders!

    I thought David Norris played a blinder tonight, Gay wasn't bad either!

    Looks like that Higgins fella will win. The rest aren't that good.

    I have noticed that too. He doesn't initiate anything but gets the sly digs in when the other opponents are facing off. It's like he is trying to play one off against the other and sail through the middle. I don't think he is fooling too many people.

    I'd have more respect for him if he either did things directly or not at all.

    Yes. When they are hit and on the ground he runs in and plants the boot into them. Enjoyed him tonight.

    Check out the replay - seriously. It was a Classic Political Debate in Irish history.

    I agree on both counts, even though Gay Mitchell is my least favourite of the seven. Shows how disappointing Higgins was tonight.

    Gallagher absolutely obliterated. I just hope enough of his potential voters watching to witness it.

    EDIT: Oh wait, Gay just exploded. Never mind......

    The only reason Gay done well is because he didn't have much chance to put his foot in it

    No wait.. there he goes

    Well done Gay. Well said. The show is a farce.

    Its just a chance for party/people supporters to knock the others.

    Gay Mitchell is such a total absolute hypocrite criticising Pat Kenny, considering Mitchell's TOTAL negative campaigning throughout this election against Martin McGuinness.

    I hope Miriam O'Callaghan is watching this because Pat is showing how to conduct a debate in a professional manner.

    Raising something said outside the debate during the debate and including a Fr Ted reference is not professional. This debate is an abomination from a state broadcaster.

    I do sort of agree with Gay Mitchell that some of the questions were stupid. But that isn't Pat's fault; he's just asking the questions he was told to ask. Pat has been BY FAR the best moderator of any of the major debates so far, and I was never a fan of his.

    Mitchell should have directed his ire at the people who came up with the questions rather than just attacking Pat for asking them.
