Sky News expresses interest in broadcasting leaders’ debate

SKY News has joined the race to broadcast a live leaders’ debate in the run-up to the general election.

Sky’s political editor Adam Boulton confirmed the Rupert Murdoch outlet is competing to air the head-to-head debates with RTÉ, TV3 and potentially TG4.

Highlighting the extreme international interest in this country’s recent political implosion, the potential programme will be aired live across all Sky News outlets.
