‘Economic treason’ charge vilifies public servants

YOUR editorial headlined ‘Day of action becomes day of cheep beer’ (November 25) referred to “strikers who abandoned picket lines to sit in four and five-mile tailbacks outside Newry as they went North to do a bit of Christmas shopping”.

No evidence was offered. Public service employees were on strike last Tuesday. There was heavy traffic on the road to Newry. So this is “proof” that those on strike went in large numbers to Newry to purchase cheap beer?

Obviously, this is what passes as responsible journalism at the Irish Examiner.
