WHY IS CATHERINE CONNOLLY BEING PROTECTED FROM QUESTIONS? The Lit & Deb’s direction that students submit their questions in writing on an online Google Docs form for tonight’s Irish Presidential Election Forum, is completely contrary to real and authentic debate. 1/3

I am calling on the Lit & Deb to rescind this nonsense and open the floor for real student debate tonight. If the Lit & Deb really believes in free speech, why does it not facilitate a genuine and open debate on the issues at our University? 2/3

If Catherine Connolly – the left-wing candidate – or any other candidate needs to be protected from questioning by Galway students, something is seriously wrong. 3/3

Keep calling out the hypocrites kid. They can’t take daylight.

You have a bright future ahead of you young man. Thank you.

He’s right! Knowing or picking the questions you want to answer is not a debate. Doesn’t look like Connelly is fit for the job!

Not a debate , she had decided in advance what questions were to be asked and what her answers would be . This shows the she is not prepared to debate fairly Her way or no way Typical Irish Goverment response, she is just a puppet .

Well done young fella 👏👏👏💚

100% correct. I'm sorry you won't get to experience what we had in the 90s in UCD for example. The L&H was superb Friday night entertainment, full open debate. How sad things have changed..

If this is the kind of independent principled young person home schooling produces then we should ALL be home schooling! Fair play 2 you Elijah. Seeing a Young person like yourself, not afraid 2 stand up to a brainwashed crowd like that gives me a tiny sliver of hope 4 our future

Dealt with her in the past. She's an absolute bully, and she will do anything to get what she wants! Great work Elijah!

What an amazing young man from an amazing family with power strength we need more people like this family to fight this horrible system that our horrible government has created

the burke boys have balls to spare. real mensch.

Maria Steen would answer.

Leftard's don't like questions or proper debate🤔 Questions & debate will expose their inept policy's & woeful woke ideology🤔 So they resort to abusing anyone with a different point of view as a rule🤔 Bravo Sir keep exposing the woeful clowns🫡

Why are your arrogant bigoted family always trying to slam your hatred onto Ireland If you despise this country so much, why not move to the USA They love your kind of bigotry there

Thank you Elijah Burke for standing up for free speech and showing up Catherine Connolly for the hypocritical Communist that she is..

Your brother is locked up during this tenure of Fine Gael and Fine Fail, surely this is an issue for one of their candidates?

She is not my president!! Well done!

Second rate uni Freak show family member Pointless debate But you posted it online Weird

well done!

It's all set up to protect her from being questioned. @Glinner

You are right! Well done!

Well done Elijah , you've shown her up . No freedom of speech allowed.

Love you and your enthusiasm. Well done for not being afraid of speaking and raising your concerns. The swamp is deeper than this, the system itself is rotten to the core...

Keep on fighting evil! Stand out from the cowed crowd who don't dare bleat anything contrary to woke manifests.

You don't want a silent leader. She not worthy of be President.

Well done Elijah. You are a man or courage.

#CatherineConnolly is a galloping piebald pony of a communist ☭,a creature one would not wish to be downwind of without a hazmat. Representing the literal great unwashed left,a pitiful sight that looks like she is decomposing. #HeilHumpfries shoo in to remove the 🇮🇪*Preamble

Thanks Elijah courage is everything, and hope over fear 🙏🤩👌

Fair play to ya bud best of luck

I've 2 degrees & a masters from Moscow University from early post communist Russia, and even there was afforded the opportunity to question fashionable & long held state endorsed propaganda & empty socialist rhetoric in open and civilised debate. We can fight this. #spoilthevote

Enoch's little brother is Ireland's "Big Balls." Brilliant courageous young people. Two peas in a pod.

The unwillingness to answer to open debate questions is an indictment not only on Catherine Connolly but also on the University of Galway and the literary and debate society. Shameful.
