Will Cowen use the Junior Minister resignations to wrap in a reshuffle at Cabinet level too? They've only been a year in the job. #bludget

RT @RTEBudget2009: It is understood that Brian Cowen has asked all junior ministers to resign on 21 April, so he can reappoint.... #bludget
by rochenstein via twitter at 4/6/2009 3:34:07 PM
@krayZpaving just asked the same question on the blog. I would think he would go for one or two 'tinkering change' if anything #bludget

Hash tag we are going to use tomorrow is #aprilbudget I'm afraid #bludget is just too judgemental

@cianflah Given that ponies (at least in stud farms) are currently exempt from VAT, it would be no harm to introduce it... #bludget
by krayZpaving via twitter at 4/7/2009 9:43:56 AM
@JL_Pagano @Tupp_Ed they sure are - gotta get the money from the rich somehow - maybe an incentive to move into glue sales? #bludget
by cianflah via twitter at 4/7/2009 9:44:02 AM
@cianflah I doubt the ponies will find themselves exempt either!!! #bludget
by JL Pagano via twitter at 4/7/2009 9:44:04 AM
@krayZpaving McCreevy would probably find a way of punishing us from Brussles #bludget

I am fed up to the back teeth with eejit's 'thrifty tips' for the economy. Learning nothing new, been doing these things for years. #bludget
by redmum via twitter at 4/7/2009 10:34:58 AM
Most of the 'thrifty tips' are bloody common sense, presume these tipsters were splashing the cash for long time. #bludget
