Curse of the Cinderella embargo dogs public information

Image
We need to talk about a pestilence that causes an itch in Irish journalism, especially in reportage of large companies and State organisations. I refer to publication embargoes, which are endemic. Community transmission of them is currently way too high. We need a circuit breaker to stop the news agenda being overly manipulated by public relations. Embargoes are agreements between journalists and sources, made without the knowledge of readers or viewers, to delay publishing a story until a specific day or time. “We promise not to reveal your news until you say so.” It is one of those navel-gazing media issues that ought to pass by ordinary readers. The truth is that the now virus-like prevalence of embargoes in journalism, and the supine manner in which they are accepted, skews the flow of media content to readers and viewers every day, to the benefit of major organisations. The journalism-consuming public ought to be included in the debate about embargoes – to be told how they can be ...

Overtime for top HSE executives

Sir, – I have no issue with those below executive and managerial grades in the HSE being paid overtime during the pandemic. Many are in low-paying positions and could not have been expected to make and continue to make, the herculean efforts they do, without overtime. Managerial grades are a different matter. These State employees are in highly remunerated positions with security of tenure, in most cases. In the private sector when one’s employer has a crisis, executives are expected to devote all their time and energy to resolution, without additional incentives. Other than the obvious that their business will survive and thus their job. Is it the situation that senior public servants, whose role in the bureaucracy of State is serving the national interest, will not do so in a crisis unless paid more? This is just another of the great disconnects between public and private sector that grates with the latter. It is all the more grating when, as some of us do, remember the benchmarking ...
