TD at the Dáil lost his very critical speech about the Budget

Few nervous moments for Richard Boyd Barrett.

Enda Kenny, Michael Noonan and Paschal Donohoe have all arrived at Government Buildings as Budget 2017 is set to be announced.

We will be bringing you all the details as the announcement is made and just like any political decision in Dáil Eireann, it’s set to divide Ireland’s political parties.

The political correspondent for The Irish Times, Fiach Kelly, is on hand to hear the events unfold but he got an inside scoop after discovering  Richard Boyd Barrett’s dissenting speech.

The terms “conjuring trick”, “pro-wealthy options” and a “small elite” are all here.
