The RTÉ Prime Time debate was one of the last chances for the main party leaders to grab the attention of the public.
A debate that mirrored the campaign for sheer dullness – emphasized by the fact that most people were more interested in creaking RTÉ floorboards than what the leaders had to say.
All the leaders were hit with questions about cronyism.
Enda Kenny seeming to admit for the first time that he had a direct roll in the appointment of John McNulty to the board of the Irish Museum of Modern Art – before backtracking afterwards.
Joan Burton had to defend her appointment of David Begg to the pensions authority.
Micheál Martin's record as health minister came under attack.
As did Gerry Adams' association with the IRA.
No clear winners or losers then as we reach the final days of what has felt like the longest shortest election campaign ever.
