Ffs, Daly on Upfront. Why on earth are they dragging that irrelevant grifter onto the screen? She is irrelevant; the Irish people demonstrated it clearly. Twice.
#RTEUpfront
Reposting this RTÉ tweet from RTÉ's Upfront from tonight.
_This_ is exactly the whole problem in a nutshell. I want to live in my own house... not in my parent's house. And it's not the fault of anyone but the governments.
"'I feel like I'm being forced out of Ireland - I'm just so angry and frustrated' - Teacher says she will probably emigrate after election result @rtenews

Oh. There's an hour and a half on the State broadcaster of politicians throwing migrants under the bus. Of course there is.
Time to catch up on #RTÉUpfront !
[01:30] WATCH: Leaders' make pitches to voters in RTÉ debate
Ten political party leaders took part in the first televised debate of the General Election campaign on RTÉ Upfront. At the end of a debate that lasted more than two hours, each leader was given the opportunity to deliver a pitch to voters on why they should vote for their party.

Oh Jaysus... up next is the #immigration discussion. I fear this could be bad for my blood pressure.
I just want *someone* to make the positive case for immigration, and not equivocate and talk about "legitimate concerns".
In one Generation FF/FG have ruined the housing situation in this country. Lives of young people are being curtailed by the cost of renting and trying to by a house. #RTEUpFront #GE24 #GE2024
9:35pm "Don't talk over one another please."
* there follows two hours of cross-talk *
At least they all made sense on Palestine.
But happy to see Richard Boyd Barrett call out the government parties on their inaction to date.
Hard to feel much hope about Ireland's response to Climate Change based on that segment. Ivana Bacik probably did best on it.
Why aren't there solar panels installed on every school around the country, on every hospital, on every government owned building? #RTEUpFront #GE24 #GE2024
Directing the "Ireland's poor performance" climate change question to the Greens first? Don't make me defend Roderic O'Gorman.
So hang on. There's another 87,000 topics, with 52 party leaders to speak, plus individual "pitches" direct to camera. What? How long is this programme on for!?
I probably should be threading this..
If Michael Collins wants to talk down the clock on himself, saying precisely nothing, then I'm okay with it.
Jaysus. @richardboydbarrett with his insanely radical left wing policies that are only adopted by...looks around...most European countries....
#GE24 #rteupfront
This #rteupfront #GE24 debate is brutal. She keeps saying "We're moving on" then asking the old reliables another question. Move on from what to what? To who?
The other 7 parties must be just making up for the audience they're used to.
Whatever happened to the clock-watching equal time rules on these 'debates'? Every time I see these things, it's #FF #FG talking. #GE24 #leadersdebate #RTEUpFront
FF/FG as my granny would say, two cheeks of the same arse! #RTEUpFront #GE24
