    Mary Lou not good at all and possibly an error finishing off as gaelige. Reminds people of their murderous past connections

    Big fan of his. Think the Greens will gain some seats this time around and may get a seat in my constituency

    Honest, clear and consistent with his policies. Definitely the one I'd trust the most


    Big hater of his and his party, how in the jaysus did they ever think diesel could be used as a clean fuel in private cars?

    Richard Boyd Barrett first time hearing him speak, have to said very impressed and in my view best closing statement of the night.

    Fair play to RTE, a great debate tonight. One thing they they can never be faulted on is their current affairs output.

    Yeah I enjoyed it. I know they are easy targets but fair play to them. Cant be easy, after a long day and couple of weeks, to go on national TV and have to answer questions like that when 5-6 people are getting ready to stick the boot in. I take my hat off to the 7 of them and Claire Byrne.

    You spent years calling out FG and calling Leo a rat and now you suddenly think they are the best.

    WTF like!???

    Absolutely. Banned from politics for one too many varadkar attacks. Started a still going strong thread on this forum about fg poor performance. It’s become Krystle clear over the last week in particular , that as **** as fg are , the others are even worse in my opinion. Government is easy when you never have to make decisions. We have had decades of **** governance here and many of those spoofers that make up the dail have never even been in power. What dues that tell you about their caliber or desire for change. Of this isn’t just me , a lot of my family and friends will be giving fg a one and greens a two. Here’s looking forward to a new party forming that rewards workers , happy to say bye bye to fg then

    FF would clean up if they had removed MM from the leadership. Woeful on the final hurdle there. And says ‘in terms of’ way too much for my liking.

    Huh? I am not sure what speaking Irish has to do with murderous past connections...I think more of an issue that lot of people would have no clue what she is saying.

    Exactly. If we build 50k social housing you can bet there will be another 50k getting in line for ir there free house too. If they have to pop out a few kids to speed this up they will.

    Oh, and it will be governments fault and us the taxpayers will have to pay for it while paying 400k for house next door to them putting up with their anti-social bullsh@t.
    Yeah and that’s why the notion of this housing crisis being solved is a joke. You are all giving Claire Byrne plaudits , why isn’t she raising obvious points like this ?

    It is redolent of GerryA with his opening and closing words in Irish, as if blessing himself, even though we hadnt a clue what he was saying.

    Spot on. Also, 1 million medical cards in a country of 4.5 million people with 4% unemployment is a disgrace.

    Claire was the only winner tonight.

    That’s the BIG Problem, Claire thought she was part of the debate team, not the moderator she was supposed to be. What’s really sad, is instead of being a moderator, she was a cheerleader for Fine Gael. Very biased and pathetic!

    A spirited debate.

    personal highlights :

    Leo promising the increase in higher rate tax threshold again and Martin chopping him down that the likely delivery is nil.

    MM promising a rural crime bureau which will be rather effective against the scourge, if he could deliver it.

    SF, PbP and SD have impossible to deliver housing platforms, RBB can only cherry pick what works in austria as if it would here.

    SF is still an IRA press wing controlled by them and opposed to the SCC.

    Varadkar`s front bench would be lucky to make intermediate.
