Candidates attack President Higgins over 'extravagant' expenses in debate
President Michael D Higgins was repeatedly attacked for his “extravagant” lifestyle and Learjet trips amid claims that he “could not lie straight in bed” over spending during tonight's high-profile presidential debate.
The questions were thrown at President Higgins in the final head-to-head battle between all six candidates, which also saw Peter Casey labelled “Nigel Farage” for his views on Travellers and claims their ethnic minority identity lets them “benefit financially with houses and fields”.
