I reckon the Yes camp are biting their nails with Micko's penchant for outrageous statements. What Micko can never hide though is his snearing arrogance whereas Declan does not come across that way at all. Although I am sure Micko knows his failings in this regard and may well try to come across as the essence of reasonableness. However, I am sure that the Unions and their members will find it stomach churning that Micko is being put forward as a leading Yes campaigner on a flagship current affairs programme.

Why is Biffo not going up against Ganley?

It will definitely be entertaining, though hardly enlightening

Then again it's Prime Time, so par for the course!

No, on all accounts. I'm too great a snob to do such things.

my money is on Ganley - I think he is more experienced as a public debater on tv.

O'Leary is experienced at rubbish publicity stunts and crap press releases.

I don't think that O'Leary is a great man to front any campaign, he spends a lot of time professionally talking out of both sides of his mouth and I believe everyone assumes he is talking for purely his own and Ryanairs self interest in this.
however if anyone can impale Ganley with full on nasty aggressive discussion it is O'Leary.

At the very least it will be highly amusing.

The problem is not a single person in this country will believe el CucaRoche or any other government spokesman at this stage so at least its worth a risk from their perspective.
