Ivan in with the put-downs!

Matt taking no crap.

Defintely seems like the producers have told Matt & Ivan to go full scorched earth tonight, its a different debate to the Claire Byrne one

Utopia Parkway

Ivan and Matt are speaking more than the candidates. It’s a 9 way debate.

L1011

Murphy is even worse than Shortall, jesus. She sounds like she's about to start crying. She is far more capable in the Dáil.

elperello

It's not a debate it's a shouting match.

CFlat

It's all a bit aggressive by the moderators.

Your man saying about a wealth tax on billionaires. He does realise they are super rich and if they start getting taxed like that they can simply move on a whim right?

CH3OH

Ivan heading for a heart attack

Macdarack

Nobody talking about the non working class and their massive social welfare bill.

KrustyUCC

Hard watch so far when the presenters keep interupting

FrancieBrady

It's ridiculously abrasive from the interviewers.

Millionaire only not

Leo winning this so far , the minority parties very poor tonight!

Micheal is terrified of Sinn Fein

mgn

They're all looking very uncomfortable, they don't know what their going to be hit with next.

Micheal Martin.

Those hand gestures he insists on doing every time he speaks, all I can think of is Big Fish, Little Fish, Cardboard Box.

L1011

I'm generally quite good with figuring out two people talking at once (too long working in a call centre probably) and this is even stressing me out.

pjmn

This is ridiculous, Cooper & Yates won't let any Leader finish their answer, and just want to outshout them themselves.... I'm off...

I'd vote FG if they said they would reduce USC.

Millionaire only not

Facts and figures - Mary Lou is lost

They're interrupting when the candidates try waffling and going off the point in fairness.

ThunbergsAreGo

Eamonn Ryan is wearing his dad's suit

Micheal Martin a guy in last chance saloon territory me thinks

ricero

Martin fears Mary Lou

mzungu

This debate has potential but the interruptions should be dialled back.

That old chestnut has been thrown around for the last 12 years. Perhaps it's time to test the theory.

antimatterx

Yates and Copper need to STFU and learn when to speak

Millionaire only not
