Sinn fein exclusion from tv debates to be challenged

The exclusion of Sinn Féin from election leaders debates has been described as a sham and an insult to licence fee holders.

Mary Lou McDonald's party is taking legal advice after being excluded from the head-to-head debates between Leo Varadkar and Micheál Martin. The first debate is scheduled for tomorrow evening between the Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil leaders.
