Taxes, wages, PR, debate absence, the Government jet and a loan were all raised on this evening's RTÉ Prime Time presidential debate.
Here are just six moments from the debate.
Peter Casey on taxes
Asked about paying taxes, Peter Casey said he has a Green Card and gets taxed on his worldwide income, and that he was paying 46% tax in America.
"I'm a Green Card holder, which means I get taxed on my worldwide incomes in the United States so that will be given up very shortly."

Seán Gallagher on previous debate absence
On not featuring in a previous debate, Mr Gallagher said it was not fair for five candidates to turn up and have a go at each other while one escaped scrutiny.
"My solution was to stay out of it and encourage, hopefully, that others would have followed suit."
