The second televised debate on the Eighth Amendment will take place on Tuesday on RTÉ One’s Prime Time. The programme will include advocates on both sides arguing for and against a repeal of Article 40.3.3 of the Constitution. The debate will last one hour and there will be a live studio audience of 90 people. The first debate took place last week on RTÉ and resulted in numerous complaints from members of the public and indeed politicians. The Minister for Health said the discussion developed into a football match with jeering, whooping, hollering, laughing and sniggering.
