Another embarrassing episode. Both fumbling over their answers again. Tbf, the questions were just a rerun of previous ones. Irrelevant rubbish and a poor effort from rte.

It's disappointing when candidates can say nothing substantial and resort to smearing each other's reputation. It's an insult to the role of president. Michael D is surely horrified and disillusioned with the whole debacle

While I agree the Irish performance was nervy and even rudderless, this article was equally directionless and nonsensical. I zoned out with the mention of a popcornmeter. Poor quality journalism at its finest. Irish Times can do better

Cycled it during the summer. It’s fab

We should not have been able to watch. Irish TV stations should not be broadcasting it. Ireland should not have participated. Bollocks to 'it's not political ' thousands of people are dying. This is terrible

I’d say the American administration will lose loads of sleep over this🙄.SF…nobody cares what you do. One thing I do know is not talking or not negotiating never resolved anything. It’s a good thing you lot are not in charge

I’ll see your heron and raise you this 😊
