The final general election leaders’ debate will take place on Tuesday night, offering voters further opportunity to hear directly from Ireland’s leading political figures.
Presented by Miriam O’Callaghan and Sarah McInerney on RTÉ’s Prime Time, the live broadcast will feature Fine Gael’s Simon Harris, Fianna Fáil’s Micheál Martin, and Sinn Féin’s Mary Lou McDonald.
The debate will feature in-depth discussion and rigorous questioning on the key issues shaping the country's future, providing a platform for the prospective Taoiseach to share their vision with the electorate.
Ahead of the leaders’ debate, Miriam O’Callaghan said: “I am really looking forward to this leaders’ debate - they're always intense for everyone involved, especially the leaders - but they're also always fascinating and engaging and a chance for viewers to see all three leaders up close and personal.”
Speaking on the debate, Sarah McInerney said: "The Prime Time leaders debate takes place three days out from polling, when many people will be deciding who they want to lead the next government.
"It'll be the first and only debate between the three people contending for the office of Taoiseach. People want to know who is going to fix the housing crisis, who can address the cost of living in Ireland and who will tackle hospital waiting lists.
"Miriam and I will be working together to get answers for people on these key issues, and much more.”
The leaders' debate will kick off at 9:35pm on Tuesday.
