In that last line, he must have meant to say Catherine Connolly responded with kindness.

Notable from listening back to the This Week debate that Heather Humphreys no longer seems to be interested in making a positive case for voting for her. It's all just attacks on Connolly.

As @catherinegalway.bsky.social says in the first short clip here, HH is now all about the politics of fear and smear, to avoid substantive debate on issues.

Comment: We deserve better.

There’s a UI/UX design maxim that accessibility features benefit all. For example, an app that can be used with one hand benefits amputees, someone with an arm in a sling, or someone carrying a bag of groceries. I’m not blind, yet find alt text useful.

As a blind dude, your images mean nothing to me without an alt-text description. I know it’s a pain & I have zero expectations of you using this #Accessibility tool so thoughtfully provided by #BlueSky but I appreciate every effort. It doesn’t have to be The Great Gatsby but please include me 😎

Thinking back on today's debate, HH declared that Ivan Yates has nothing to do with her campaign, & then went on to throw muck that was almost word for word what Ivan had said.

The gap in CC's values Vs HH's lack of values is clear as day.

I hope people vote for CC

David has to state at the end that Paul Murphy did not lock Joan in her car & was found not guilty of imprisonment.

HH replies "Well he didn't let her out of it"

Very Presidential 🙃

HH says @paulmurphy.pbp.ie trapped Joan Burton in his car (which he was found innocent for in court) & somehow that's now CC's fault.

On RTÉ Radio 1, CC says it's clear that there is no difference now between FF & FG leadership because MM is going to vote for HH.

CC asks FF voters to look back to the peace values of Frank Aiken, which she now represents.

HH says Ireland is mature enough to make our own decisions re the Triple Lock.

Decisions like allowing SNN being used as a USAF base, or allowing arms to be trafficked through Irish airspace on the way to Gaza.

I presume these are the mature decisions she means.

This radio debate is turning into a farce tag team of questions against CC.

David letting HH ask inflammatory Qs like "Did you ask that woman what she was going to use the guns for?"

CC reiterates that the woman served her time & the vetting process was followed.

Given the Taoiseach has signalled defeat before attempting meaningful #ClimateAction, I highly recommend @johngibbons.bsky.social's excellent new book for better advice on what can be done.

"This would all be fine were it not for the fact that it is absolute lunacy" is v apt.
