Poll: Who came out on top in last night’s debate?

The seven would-be presidents of Ireland engaged in a robust televised debate last night – but who impressed you the most?

THE SEVEN CANDIDATES vying for a seat in the Áras took part in TV3′s Big Presidential Debate with host Vincent Browne last night – the second of three live scheduled debates.

There’s just one debate left to come – RTÉ’s Frontline programme on 24 October – but what did you think of the candidates’ performances last night? (For a quick recap check out the updates as they happened on our Liveblog.)

Tell us, who do you think came out on top?
