Did you get any more interesting questions ibis ?

Not too bad, actually, considering the desperately short notice we seem to get of the events.

I'd like to know from Joe Higgins whether he thinks the cuts in jobs and public services across Europe demand a european-wide response from Socialisits, and is the EU relevant to such a response.

OK - no guarantees it will get used, but it's in the pot. Hmm - in future I might try getting the questions through debate threads.

Thanking you, again..

The stream should be here at 11 am: http://www.euireland.tv/stream.php

LIVE STREAMING AT 11.00 - Will your question come up???

Nice chairs - where is the seminar being held I wonder?

On Dawson St in European Union House I think. It is on the corner of Molesworth St.

Picture is good but the sound is not set up yet.

Yup...

Sounds like static on the mic - bad connection? The internet feed is good there.

I'll log in once I get off the phone from this terrible customer service team.

I got sound for a few seconds and it went again.

Ah - there we go!

Any familiar faces there ? No outing now...

Has he sent an alternate? tonys could stand in perhaps.

Perhaps its not too late. As Dick Roche is a no show the others might want more questions?

Withdrawing suggestion that Dick Roche had chickened out of the debate, knowing as I do now that he was held up at gunpoint this morning in Wicklow.

Mine keeps breaking up... is that happening to other people?

Yes mine just broke up.

I'm going to make a trolly comment - tee hee !

Anyone else in the dark - should I have paid a sub, put some coins in the slot somewhere?

It will be interesting to see Sarah Carey in action, but only mildly.

I'm most interested in hearing Joe Higgins as I have already heard most of the others.

Sound and picture seems OK at the moment.

Has it started, people standing around chatting. One guy looks like he's lost.
