Leaked memo shows the true extent of Fianna Fail's deceit

It never fails to amuse me that when an issue of genuine interest in Irish politics arises, the silence from Indymedia is deafening. While we have countless postings about a party in town on Sunday and a few rants against Sharon and Israel, no one has mentioned the fact that the government have been exposed for lying, and are facing the biggest crisis of their term.
Yesterday, the Sunday Tribune published a leaked memo from the Department of Finance informing government ministers that there will be E900m in cuts next year. Not only is this a revelation in itself, but the memo was written just after the election. Therefore, when McCreevy and Ahern were telling the electorate that there would be no cuts, McCreevy's department were adding up exactly how much will have to be cut. The result is 900 million Euro. 101 million off Social Welfare, 160 off education and 120 off the environment (this figures may be a bit off, I can't remember the exact figures but they are something like this).
Why does no one on Indymedia care? Is it just that whenever a subject slightly more complicated than "cars = bad" arises, no one bothers reading it? This is really important. They lied to the entire electorate just before the election and now they are going to slash public funding to the areas which effect the most vulnerable people in our society (the sick, poor and young). Wake up Indymedia.
