Due to challenging market conditions and the government's failure to financially recognise and support our public service content, Virgin Media Television (VMTV) will not hold a Leaders Debate during the upcoming general election campaign.
Our broadcasters have a duty to the public to facilitate debate and discussion in the election period. This includes putting both government and opposition through their paces, and holding them to account.
Fine Gael have been in government for 14 years. They have failed in housing, health, cost of living and many other key policy areas.
The decision by Virgin Media not to host a party leaders' debate is playing into Fine Gael's hands, appearing to have no sound rationale, and is a retrograde step.
