Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil are locked in an election battle to hold the centre ground as Sinn Féin's support grows. However, there are divided opinions in the party as other senior ministers believe attacking Sinn Féin is driving voters towards Fianna Fáil. Fianna Fáil will tell voters that supporting them is the only way to keep Sinn Féin out of power. Sinn Féin has officially requested that RTÉ include Ms McDonald in the final live televised debate of the campaign, which takes place tomorrow night. He said he was "sorry that Fianna Fáil are trying to pit the working class against the middle class".
