    "Week in Politics" on now. May 10th 2009

    Brian Hayes, Martin Cullen and some labour woman I don't know.

    Dublin South and Central bye elections being discussed.

    Lowrey, in a clip, effectively said he would not vote for the December budget.

    And what about the June budget?

    ...............In another major blow to Mr Cowen's position, Independent TD Michael Lowry has said that the Taoiseach can no longer take his support for granted.

    Speaking to the Sunday Independent, Mr Lowry said that he will not vote for the next Budget if Finance Minister Brian Lenihan fails to address promises he says were made to him.

    "I have already flagged that issues such as child benefit and the range, scope, and equity of property tax will be of significant concern to me.".............

    Sounds tiring.

    I meant, how has he survived in cabinet thus far (there's no accounting for the decisions of the Irish electorate)?
