McDonald: TV performance was Gallagher's undoing

Independent candidate Seán Gallagher's poor showing in the polls is widely being blamed on his performance during a TV debate last Monday night.
The debate on RTÉ's 'Frontline' programme saw Sinn Fein's Martin McGuinness attack Mr Gallagher over his links to Fianna Fáil, and his involvement in collecting a €5,000 cheque as part of a FF fundraising effort.
