    Thats pretty much guaranteed if he's gone. It'd just be an all-island Renua with a few more councillors.

    Somebody here, in the know about his constituency, was saying his seat is in danger.

    Perhaps Ruth should move to China or Russia?

    There was a great piece on Pat Kenny's show on news talk yesterday with a guy from a US university talking about China and it's politics from the 60's on. Well worth a listen and had a lot of stuff I wasn't aware of. Ruth would not be accepted there ...she's too socialist even for them :D

    Coppinger speaks with that inflection when she has no idea how to answer. She's really awful tonight.

    I don't think they would at all, it would be pointless running a tonne of candidates...realistically they will maybe get one new TD.
    Going nowhere fast I am afraid which is a pity.

    Their main stomping grounds seem to be Dublin, Cork and Galway. Outside of that, they are not running many candidates elsewhere. This might be down to finances, but I do think if they had a bigger presence the seats would follow.

    Actually these days it's more the councils buying up everything for social housing.

    Great thing really. Using people's taxes to prevent them from buying a place for themselves. :rolleyes:

    I really, really cannot stand Eamon Ryan.

    Every time he opens his mouth it's clear he hasn't a clue about the real issues

    At least we could hear everybody tonight. Fair play to the participants in tonights debate, they got their points across.

    It will be an interesting weekend.

    Howlin' Brendan is tiny.
    He's like a hobbit gone bad.
    You could pop him up on your knee and give him a slap round the head for being bold :D

    Just lives in an ideological bubble divorced from reality.

    He wasn't the only one up there tonight - which is the only thing I'll give him.

    Well that was a short and snappy debate and the candidates got their chance to give a final pitch to the country. I think Brendan Howlin and Rosin shorthall did the best but that’s because they are the most experienced.

    Too many immigrants and then cut to Leo. Says all I need to know about that shower.

    Indeed in a **** racist backward sandwhich which was that political party message its hard to pick worst that was one of them. I also enjoyed the very emotive shots of cute babies and then the voice over of abortion "too horrific".
