Three candidates for the Áras faced off in the first televised debate of the campaign on Virgin Media Television on Monday night. The debate unfolded as a parade of clichés and bland, boring aspirations. Choosing a clear winner proved difficult because few moments offered substantive differentiation. Heather Humphreys focused on getting safely through the event by sounding pleasant, leaving the more combative exchanges to the other contestants. The overall tone leaned toward safe, conventional statements rather than sharp policy contrasts.
