On TV tonight: The People's Debate in Longford/Westmeath

Locals with an interest in politics will want to tune into TV3 tonight (Wednesday) for the screening of Vincent Browne's 'People's Debate' for the Longford/Westmeath constituency.

The rescheduled debate took place on Monday evening in Mullingar's Greville Arms Hotel, and it will be broadcast tonight at 10pm.

A number of candidates in this month's general election participated in the debate, but three of the four sitting TDs in the constituency - Gabrielle McFadden (FG), James Bannon (FG) and Willie Penrose (Lab) - chose not to take part.

The People's Debate set out to visit every constituency in the country to give people in each area a chance to debate national and local issues.
