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
