The first televised leaders’ debate of Ireland’s General Election campaign will occur tonight on RTÉ television, featuring ten party leaders. Fine Gael aims to reduce waiting lists for children with disabilities, while Sinn Féin’s Mary Lou McDonald campaigns in Dublin. Other parties, including the Green Party and the Social Democrats, are launching various policies. Tensions rise as Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael push Sinn Féin for its manifesto just before the debate, which will be broadcast live at 9:35 PM.
