    Interesting already - TD's can't leave the chamber with a copy of the budget speech. All parties are going mad over this.

    Lots of drama over the press getting copies of the budget statement.

    Apparently the press had copies of the Budget statement before the members of the Dail :eek:

    Chaos in the Dail now

    Nope, that's always been the case. Apparently the press had copies in advance, or that's the impression I get :D

    Talk about a clusterf**k.

    They're trying to lock the TDs in the chamber to stop them walking out with the speech. While reporters can.

    Labour and FG are rightly up in arms.

    it's gonna get nasty. You can see it already.

    Anyone think that there is an outside chance that this might not actually get passed

    Did you hear that it is almost entirely the rest of the world, particularly the brits who are to blame...

    What about bankers and corruption in developments?

    All I'm getting from the speech so far is arrogance. Really. A complete refusal to accept any sort of responsibility for the housing bubble. The government have no hope of gaining broad support for this budget with this attitude. If they would just acknowledge and apologise for some of their mistakes they would have a far easier side rallying people together.
