Poll: Should the Taoiseach have taken part in a TV debate?
The Fine Gael leader is being criticised from within his own party for not debating Micheál Martin. Do you think a TV appearance last week would have made any difference?
ENDA KENNY IS coming in for criticism from Government TDs for not taking part in a televised debate during the Seanad referendum campaign.

Poll Results:
