This Job Cut Is Just Part of an Economic Storm. You Can Ride It Out in Two-And-A-Half Years
Could the web editors of the Irish Independent be a little less callous please? Putting a story about the loss of 140 jobs at the Bulmer’s factory in Clonmel beside a piece on how our economy could ride out spiralling debt seems to me, to be in?bad taste.
What about the families of these workers? Will they be able to pay off their debts in two-and-a-half years? Okay, so they will be the ones scrambling for work with two piles of burning money. One for Christmas and the other for keeping a roof over their families’ heads.
What level of proofreading goes into reviewing the web edition before publication? The pieces are fine when viewed in isolation. Like dangerous chemicals, create a big punch?when put together. Think hydrochloric acid.
[Just as this timed post went out, I checked Independent.ie. The content has changed, but the opinion is still valid. So I'm leaving it as is.]
