LOL, I can remember Lenihans "on mature recollection" interview in 1990.

So the only honourable option left is Higgins. I like it, job done tonight!

How do you feel about him supporting the upcoming referenda? I don't think he'd be supporting them if Labour weren't in power. He went down in my estimation because of that.. I always had him down as a candidate that would stand by his own ideals rather than toe the party line. I reckon I'll still vote for him though, as the others are still worse.

Did my eyes deceive me, or did Mitchell refuse a handshake with McGuinness at the end... and what was Mitchell doing looking at his watch coming into the last part of the debate?

Great entertainment tbf..

I think the moderator is perfectly within his rights to take the wind out of a parcticiapnt's sails when said participant makes a direct, petulant and unfair attack on him.

Though it is a bit of a sad indictment of the other six that it is left to Pat Kenny to strike the most succint and eloquent blow of the whole debate.

A moderators role is to make sure the rules of the debate are adhered to. This is a presidential debate we are talking about not some banter in a pub. He should let the questions be asked and let the participants in the debate discuss and question each other and that nobody interupts each other or goes over the time limit. A debate should be about the participants and not the moderator. The fact that so many people are talking about the moderator shows that he has failed. Look at the US presidential debates and how they are conducted. Thats how it suppose to be done. Its like watching RTE's football coverage at times. It was a pantomime, not a presidential debate.

The real LOSERS are the 40% of people that were going to vote for the FF guy in disguise in Gallagher. Those are the real losers in all of this - cannot believe how gullible the majority of people in this country are. No wonder this country is down the swanny.

Second that!

Fair play to Martin McGuinness he roasted that scumbag Gallagher to a crisp tonight. He is the only man in it for me, I want McGuinness to be president but am voting for Michael D. to keep traitor scum like Gallagher away from the presidency.

Would be a minor point against him alright. The party whip system is a major drawback of the political system here, God be with the days when FF'ers openly opposed and revolted against it!

I think all the main political parties adhere to it, I haven't seen any SF'ers openly opposing it, SF seem to have an effective whip too and they are supporting the referendum.

I've my doubts about it and McG supporting it sounds like Shinner populism.

Higgins for me just stands out as the next President.

He was perfectly entitld to respond to Mitchell's attack. He had a go and got put back in his box - if that compares poorly to the US then maybe thats because the US candidates have a better idea of how to conduct themselves than Mitchell apears to have.

Kenny was by far the best moderator out of all the debates we've had so far. Made Miriam O' Callaghan for example look awful in comparison.

de commnnnuuuuunity akkktivist doesn't even know Sean Gallagher's name. She just called him Michael.....I hope she never wrote him out a cheque, he'd have been pissed when he took that out of his envelope.
