Nobody's coming out of this looking particularly strong, it seems.
The Eighth Amendment - and Taoiseach Enda Kenny's refusal to nail down a position on it - was the hot topic following the TV3 Leaders' Debate on Thursday night.
The Fine Gael leader would not say whether he would support a referendum to change the country's abortion laws, with the General Election just over a fortnight away.
Needless to say, his lack of clarity did not go down well with those watching at home.

Ultimately, neither Kenny nor Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin would definitely state their position on repealing the eighth, talking only about 'considering it carefully.'

As Kenny, Joan Burton, Martin and Gerry Adams faced off, it was felt that the Independents and smaller parties were the only ones who might benefit from the shouting match.

The normally unflappable Pat Kenny grew ever more exasperated as the leaders of our country's parties squabbled like five-year-olds after too much cake at a birthday party.
"I'm listening to this five [four?] way at the moment and if I can't understand it what chance do the people at home have," he interjected at one point.
