The Taoiseach says he's 'confident' the government will survive tomorrow's no confidence motion.
Micheál Martin says there would be a real doubt over a September budget if a general election was held.
The Sinn Féin motion will be debated tomorrow night in the Dáil before going to a vote.
It comes just a week after the Government lost its majority in the house, following Fine Gael TD Joe Mc Hugh's decision to vote against the Mica redress.
Taoiseach Micheál Martin says ensuring a budget goes through is their priority now:
"I am confident because I do believe a majority of TDS believe in getting things done and constructively dealing with challenges and problems and primarily dealing with the cost of living and ensuring that we have a budget at the end of September."
