1638683612240379904 @TonightVMTV @NiallCollinsTD Well done, Claire Brock, unlike RTÉ /Miriam o'Callaghan who asks questions, accepts BS answers unchallenged, and moves on, effectively allowing a party political broadcast 104

1638694387151413251 @ClaireBrockTV @TonightVMTV No one is asking you @NiallCollinsTD what your ‘living circumstances’ were just where you lived on a given date, Dooradoyle or Patrickswell? Pretty straight up question to ask a TD. Why can’t you answer it? 73
