Put Sinn Féin on RTÉ Debate with Fine Gael/Fianna Fáil

The Issue

The most recent opinion poll shows Fianna Fáil & Fine Gael polling at 27% each. Sinn Féin is in third place on 20%. Yet RTÉ are refusing to include Sinn Féin in the final election debate.

In 2011 RTÉ held a 3-way Election Debate between FG, Labour and FF who were polling at 37%, 20% and 16% respectively.

We are calling on RTÉ to add Sinn Féin to this debate. FF and FG have effectively been in coalition for the last 4 years. We want to see a real debate with competing ideas for the future of Ireland. This can only be acheived by adding Sinn Féin to the debate.

The undersigned are not stating their endorsement of Sinn Féin but simply a desire for a real debate.
