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

Today of all days.

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.

Well, that’s how the day has unfolded for TD Richard Boyd Barrett.

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