TV debate will expose Bertie 'in the raw' - FG

Fine Gael says tonight’s TV debate will give Michael Noonan the opportunity to pin down the Taoiseach on the real issues in the election campaign.

Deputy Richard Bruton says Bertie Ahern will have to come clean on the state of the public finances. He claims the Taoiseach will have to face up to the crisis in public spending and health.
