"As the second debate of the presidential election wound down on RTÉ this afternoon, what we already knew from the first debate came into greater focus."
"With a mercifully shorter slot, there was less arm waving from Jim Gavin, a little more fight from Heather Humphreys and Catherine Connolly stayed on course as a candidate who has long held views and is sticking to them."
As the second presidential debate wound down on RTÉ this afternoon, the event reinforced impressions formed earlier. The program allotted a shorter speaking slot that reduced grandstanding and visible gesturing from some candidates. Jim Gavin exhibited noticeably less arm waving and a more restrained presence. Heather Humphreys displayed increased combative energy and challenged opponents with sharper interventions. Catherine Connolly maintained a steady, consistent stance, articulating long-held beliefs and refusing to be swayed. Overall, the debate provided clearer contrasts between a restrained performance, a more aggressive approach, and a candidate adhering to established positions.
