PIC: “What Are The Chances?” – Lift Won’t Budge On Budget Day, The Cabinet Weren’t Prepared For This Cut

Well this is awkward...

Transport Minister Leo Varadkar found himself in a bit of a jam, sending out an SOS tweet a short while ago, while stuck inside a lift.

Stuck in lift with half the Cabinet on Budget Day. Late for RTE. What are the chances? #Budget2014

Varadkar along with “half the cabinet” were en route to cabinet offices when a power shortage left them in mid air.

The Tánaiste Eamon Gilmore, Phil Hogan, Alan Shatter, Jan O’Sullivan, Paul Kehoe and Varadkar certainly weren’t prepared for this kind of cut… #NoBudge2014
