Surprise, Surprise, More Government Lies From the outset of the financial mess the Irish Government currently find themselves is, they have tried pinning the blame on anyone but themselves and their big business buddies. They have been quite willing to perpetuate lies and untruths in order to deflect public ire away from themselves. One sector of society that has borne the brunt of this is the Public Sector. The media (fed by Government sources) have done their best to paint a picture of all public sector workers as pampered, overpaid and under- worked. The main thrust of the attacks has come from papers owned by the O’Reilly empire, no surprise there; Tony O’Reilly has always been an outspoken adversary of Public Sector workers. His papers set a ludicrous figure for average take home pay for Public Sector workers at €60,000 per annum. |
