Another day, another debate as the two presidential candidates faced off against each other once again.
At this mid-point in the campaign, there is a sense of flagging as the same issues are thrashed out repeatedly in separate media outings.
Newstalk's Pat Kenny hosted a quickfire round of questions on his radio show this morning.
Afterwards, Fine Gael’s Heather Humphreys went for a walkabout in Dublin’s city centre landing into a kitchen supplies shop.
And she met a group of secondary school students from Scoil Chaitríona in Glasnevin.
They seemed delighted to meet the former minister as the candidate reminded them of her pro-European views.
Elsewhere, Catherine Connolly traversed Co Kildare joined by various politicians including the former Social Democrats Co-leader Catherine Murphy as well as Sinn Féin Deputy Réada Cronin.
She visited Naas, Clane and Maynooth glad-handing voters although she did run into a small protest of supporters of Elijah and Enoch Burke.
A spot of chair aerobics and a singalong were also on the agenda.
Ms Humphreys’ campaign received a boost with the backing of three former tánaistí - Mary Harney, Mary Coughlan and Frances Fitzgerald.
It is hard to know how influential these endorsements will be, but they probably also feed into the sense of the establishment versus the insurgent campaign.
However, Ms Connolly has been at pains to stress that she does not view herself as anti-establishment.
This evening, she was interviewed on RTÉ’s Six One News by presenter Sharon Tobin on the campus of Maynooth University.
She pushed back on the implied criticism from her rival that she is not pro-Europe describing herself as "a committed European".
However, she repeated her well-aired concerns about the direction of Europe and the increase in defence spending.
The arguments seem fairly well-trodden at this point, yet candidates have another nine days to make their pitch to voters.
