Presidential candidates prepare for next TV debate

The seven Presidential candidates will participate in another public debate on RTÉ's Prime Time programme this evening.

They also face a brace of questions from another source, on a new website for students called telluswhy.ie.

It is an opportunity for students to use a web forum to press the candidates on issues close to their hearts.

Managing director of the website Niall Morahan said candidates were taking the queries seriously.

"It's independent. We feel the candidates see the importance of getting the answers up there," he said.
