"As the second debate of the presidential election wound down on RTÉ yesterday afternoon, what we already knew from the first debate came into greater focus. With a mercifully shorter slot on The Week in Politics, 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."
"With a mercifully shorter slot on The Week in Politics, 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."
The second presidential debate on RTÉ clarified candidate demeanors and campaign styles. Jim Gavin showed a more restrained presence with noticeably less arm-waving. Heather Humphreys displayed increased combativeness and a stronger willingness to press her points. Catherine Connolly maintained steady adherence to long-held views and consistent positions. A shorter slot on The Week in Politics reduced time for expansive rhetoric and curtailed theatrical displays. Distinct contrasts among candidates emerged, with restraint, assertiveness, and steadiness defining Gavin, Humphreys, and Connolly respectively as they presented themselves to voters.
