We’re not joking.
There’s been a lot of shouting and a lot of point-scoring during tonight’s Leaders’ Debate on RTE but a creak is overshadowing the whole thing.
The sound of a creak was clearly audible throughout the first part of the Prime Time Special and nobody could figure out where it was coming from.
The incident was the source of a lot of creaking cracking tweets, here are some of the best.
