Description

A low-key, cranky election campaign manifested as a low-key, cranky election debate last night.

Christine Bohan, Christina Finn, Jane Matthews and Rónán Duffy sit down to unpack last night's 10-way special on RTÉ's Upfront. Did anyone really come out on top in the end, or did the main party leaders let themselves down in the end?

We also examine Fine Gael's John McGahon problem, and look at the feeling on the ground in some battleground constituencies (yes, that includes Dublin Central).

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
