That moment a certain TD loses his Budget speech in the bathroom on Budget day

We’ve all been there - “I must keep this safe now”, two minutes later - “where did I put that?”.

But it’s not every day your ‘safe place’ is the bathroom floor of Leinster house and the item is an all-important Budget speech, on Budget day.

Luckily for him reporter Fiach Kelly was on hand to save the day with the power of Twitter.
