And his sarcasm and cynicism. How can we trust a person like that to lead people with compassion if he speaks with such a lack of compassion and composure. FF FG OUT!!!!!! And Mary Lou was interrupted so much, she had to continue to speak over their petty comments constantly....it's so frustrating, these men clearly don´t respect their colleagues, how can we expect them to respect the people of Ireland. Their egos are so inflated and they just want more and more power.

[@maireadob]

I’m voting Sinn Fein for the first time ever and so are all my family. It started with my husbands grandmother. She had osteoporosis and needed to have a bathroom that was a wet room. She had her son write to the TD’s. Sinn Fein TD at the time had it put through no fuss no bother. I couldn’t believe it. Also liked how Mary Lou said sorry in the debate. Never have I seen a politician apologise. Definitely SF.

[@basketballfan5763]

Be very careful because Mary Lou would go in with Fianna Fail in a heartbeat and I'm not having that weasel Martin back in

@ I know but I hope Martin won’t go in with her. I would like to give SF a chance and because they only have 5 years to prove themselves I think they would try their best 🤞 The way the two of them talk to her is so inappropriate and unprofessional while she just laughs at them. One thing that annoys me is the presenters keep forgetting to mention or else they don’t know about the €70,000 for three curtains. They only mention the security hit and the bicycle shed.

There needs to be a separate public inquiry into the deaths in nursing homes during the pandemic In particular private nursing homes like the one in co Louth which was the most notorious The dealgan nursing home where 24 people died from sheer neglect over the Easter holiday 2020 Accountability needs to be given to all the families who lost their loved ones in nursing homes The way elderly people were neglected in some private nursing homes was an absolute disgrace and a shambles And Harris and co cannot ignore the fact that elderly people matter
