The real star of tonight's debate was #TheCreak in RTÉ's floor
*squuueeeek*
FOR THE FIRST half of tonight’s debate it sounded as if the RTÉ’s floorboards were about to buckle under the pressure.
Sounding a little like that telltale creak that you might hear coming from your housemate’s bedroom, it was pretty much the star of tonight’s election face-off.
Predictably enough, it wasn’t long before it was trending and it even had its own Twitter account.
Here’s why.
A throwback creak
An old creak
An emblematic creak
A quite scary creak
An even scarier creak
Whoops!

A devastating creak
A winning creak

The whinging creak

After the break, someone in RTÉ had ruined the fun by fixing the problem. But it wasn’t forgotten.
