Origins

The People's Debate was launched by TV3 on 12 February 2014. The programme was described as an "experiment in democracy television" featuring a "range of hard hitting, intelligent and probing topics" with "no boundaries as it deals with serious current affairs issues in Ireland from topical matters, political discussion, economics and the affairs of the nation." [2]

The first transmission occurred on Wednesday 5 March 2014. The final show aired on 22 February 2016.

Chairman

The programme was chaired by Vincent Browne, who also presents the four-times weekly Tonight with Vincent Browne .

Browne described the programme as "a new experiment in Irish television". He claimed: "This will be TV3's largest audience show to date with 150–200 people debating the important national issues of the day. There will be no panel of the usual important suspects – if the usual important suspects want to participate they will do so on the same basis as everyone else. This is democracy television."
