It's a shame that #rteupfront is no longer.
Katie did a great job I thought at knowing when to prompt & push guests on topics & was fair in leading the debates, especially with audience members.
The format felt much more real & free flowing than #rtept

Planet, there is no choice. This is madness. Shame on #rteupfront for presenting this as a rational debate.
650 houses built in one estate in my town recently. Not one bungalow. Builders will not build bungalows when they can build 2 semi-detached houses on the same site. Are town planners and politicians unwilling to take on the builders? So that's why we'll be staying in our 4-bedroom house #rteupfront
Greg just claimed the US is funding French employment entitlements. A time comes when you just say 'you can't make this up'....and he seems to believe it #rteupfront
Interesting to see FG TDs lambasting toxic social media influencers when they will do absolutely ZERO to regulate the social media companies!
So saying stuff and doing nothing as per usual #RTEUpfront
Cowering in front of a bully never works.
Taoiseach should respectfully but firmly make clear 🇮🇪 & 🇪🇺 full support for 🇺🇦 and how we will never accept Russian aggression being rewarded.
He should also speak up for equality & human rights.
#rteupfront #Trump
This is hilarious, Greg is saying we shouldn't call trump names. trump has spent the last 10 years calling people names and insulting them. #RTEUpFront
Oh look @katiehannon.bsky.social something we actually NEED to talk about. Hmmmm 🙄 #RTEupfront
A reminder of Saturday's recap on the Air Corps chemical issue, which is now being covered on #RTEUpfront
Politicians on #RTEUpfront saying they'll support a law whereby convicted murderers of mothers will not to have a right of controlling their children's welfare. Support?? They should say they will champion the law. Support means waiting for someone else to introduce it. Lukewarm politicians at best
One of the more lesser reported things from #ge24 was how well FG polled in Kanturk - what are we to understand from that? #rteupfront
Infuriating that #rteupfront has the comms manager from “Women for Election” explain to us how to get more women in power. This is the group that appointed a MALE CEO to help us wee girlies. At least they’re too embarrassed to let him out in public. #JobsForTheBoys
This is 100% spot on #ge24 #GeneralElection2024 #rteupfront #rtept #tonightvmtv #election2024 #dail #todaycb #liveline
Neale Richmond saying that 18 experienced FG TDs kept their seats.
Whereas other parties like Labour or Soc Dems - they have newly elected TDs.
To gain experience, you have to start somewhere.
Also, the political landscape is changing.
#RTEUpfront
“There is no circumstance that I can envisage where the Labour Party will be going into government with Fianna Fáil & Fine Gael”
Labour TD Marie Sherlock says her party would only enter FF/FG coalition alongside other small parties. #ge24 #rteupfront
We are living in very uncertain times globally and the next Govt must be a serious one.
What we certainly don’t need is the excessive parochialism of quite a number of Inds focussed solely on the parish pump.
Inds who under-performed at the polls btw.
#RTEUpfront #GE24
Labour's Marie Sherlock categorically ruling out coalition with FG/FF on #RTEUpfront. There must have been lots of internal party discussions since this morning #GE24
Marie Sherlock rules out the possibility of the Labour party going into coalition with FF/FG #RTEupfront
Soc Dems being too principled to merge with Labour but not so principled as to refuse to enter government with FF-FG really would be something. #RTEUpfront
Michael Collins says agriculture is backbone of the country, while perhaps interviewing on live TV for the job of Minister for Ag.
Agriculture is also the backbone of the country's GHG emissions, but I fear Michael as Minister wouldn't care.
And they want more roads too!😫
#rteupfront #GE24
Vote day should be a Saturday, far too many college students struggle to get home to vote. #RTEUpfront
If the socdems go in with dumb and dumber.... They are history. #RTEUpfront
After three days of counting, the final make-up of the new Dáil is confirmed 🗳️
(via @news.rte.ie) #RTEUpfront
"In every generation there is a chosen one. She alone will stand against the vampires, the demons, and the forces of darkness. She is Deputy Sherlock."
I'm finding this narrative hard going. Praise affects Labour TDs like water affects gremlins. This can't end well. #RTEUpfront
The move to end the reign of FF & FG continues, we don't just give up, we regroup and move forward we a renewed energy. #RTEUpfront... Let's continue to challenge them cause over the next 5 yrs
@rteupfront.bsky.social we need 'middle class' Ireland to find the time to protest.... There are various ways to protest... But bringing class into a discussion in a republic fails us all. #RTEUpfront
Marie Sherlock being portrayed as the woman who saved us from getting Hutch in the Dáil on #RTEUpfront but if Labour prop up a FF-FG coalition for 5 years, they'll be the party that delivers Hutch (or worse) in 2029
That debate changed nothing.
