RTÉ's Q&A ends tonight - The Irish Times - Mon, Jun 29, 2009

Three panels......and not a single FF TD amongst them. There is to be an "interview" with Brian Cowen - conveniently dodging the need for any unpleasant debate.

This seems extraordinary?

Oh good God - Ger Colleran!!!

*vomits on keyboard*

And Catherine Ghent - another regular who really has no reason to be there.

Don't worry McCafferty, no FF TD means there will be no one to shout down the other side or talk over them when a valid criticism is being made.

And SF sends McDonald again. They really need to find someone else, it's difficult to find a political program that she's not on. Especially since she isn't an elected representative in any way.

Are you saying FF should be upset at not being included, or are you saying that we should be upset because they're not being held to account?

Parties don't 'send' representatives to programmes like Q&A. Individual politicians are invited.

Harney is FF in all but name.

Sure wouldn't all the FF TDs have fecked off to Marbella on the holidays by now. You could hardly expect them to hang around Dublin to deal with the worst financial crisis in the history of that state. Most of them are teachers after all - they are no used to working in July or August.

Incorrect, and typical of your ignorance.

Q&A strictly rotate the political slots available, based proportionally on the Party's representation in the Dáil

I agree, but hope you include all those non elected people who are starting to tell us the way to vote on the Lisbon Treaty, We
have enough of Pat Cox and especially Garret Fitzgerald who was fired out of office nearly twenty years ago

Interesting to see an FG rep on every panel.
