International Media Articles about yesterdays budget have been widely regarded as pro government, and blamed upon a conservative national media in Ireland which is actively censoring the news.
One Irish ex pat in New York blog, "Ireland is like Burma now....you only hear what the government there wants you to hear..."
Some 1,800 articles relating to the package appeared in more than 800 publications in 41 countries in the past 24 hours. The vast majority quoted the Fianna Fail line that the budget was necessary and that stability would now be restored to the markets.
Several Left wing parties, including Sinn Féin and the United Left Alliance have criticised RTEs post budget coverage, claiming it to be pro government and anti left.
