Final Irish leaders debate tonight

Last week's 5-way debate

The fourth (or third if you don't include the Irish language one) and final leaders debate in the Irish General Election campaign will be on this evening at 9:35pm local time.

The debate will feature the three main party leaders (Enda Kenny, Michael Martin, Eamon Gilmore).  It will be hosted by Miriam O’Callaghan a vetern host of a number of leaders debates from past campaigns.

Unlike last week this one will open with brief statements from each leader and then go into the questions.  It is scheduled to last an hour and there will be no audience.  If you want to follow it from overseas it will be available on http://www.rte.ie/

Once again the team at Election Debates will be judging it as independent observers.  Check in there later tonight for the adjudications.
