"The curtains have come down on the presidential campaign with the seventh and final debate taking place. But the questions have remained the same as they have been since the start, and we are still no closer to answers."
"Catherine Connolly had one simple task going into the Prime Time studio: to avoid getting into any difficulty or risking anything that might trip her up on her inevitable waltz into the Áras."
The presidential campaign concluded with a seventh and final debate. The debate repeated longstanding questions rather than producing new answers. Core issues remained unresolved, leaving observers and voters without clearer outcomes. Catherine Connolly approached the final debate with a narrowly defined objective. Her explicit aim was to avoid difficulties and to prevent any missteps. That cautious strategy reflected an emphasis on maintaining position rather than introducing controversy. The avoidance of risk underscored confidence in an expected progression toward the Áras rather than using the debate to shift momentum.
