Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4you think that indymedia has twenty thousand individual readers?
I seriously doubt that.
Has ranged from 14,482 to 22,602 per day this month.
I simply don't believe those statistics. One of the things that leads me to doubt them is that if someone posts a youtube video here, even to the front page, it rarely gets more than about seventy hits.
In one case, when the same video (one of the interviews with Maura Harrington) was posted on the Irish Times website a day or so after it was posted here, it got 3,000 plays.
Presumably you don't think that huge numbers of people accessing indymedia are shy of pressing play on the videos do you?
This is the text of a letter that I sent to each TD today, from Contact.ie

Dear TD,
I recently sent an email to every TD in the country asking you to do your utmost to reverse the cuts to education that were announced in Budget 2008.
I received a very detailed letter from Minister O'Keefe via Deputy Niall Blaney; one of the points in this letter was that 200 teachers would lose their jobs because of the cuts. Deputy Ulick Burke and Deputy Noel Treacy stated in the Dáil on 16th December that the school in which I teach, Mercy College Woodford, Co. Galway stands to lose 20 per cent of its teaching staff (in excess of 4 teachers). Many of you may not have heard this figure spoken, as the Dáil was very empty on this day; see the video posted here to listen to the motions: http://www.markconroy.net/content/if-you-think-educatio...try-i...
It seems to me highly unfair that up to 4 or 5 of the teachers that will lose their jobs will be from our small school, whilst the other 196 (or so) teachers will be spread out amongst the other 700 (or so) secondary schools.
Please find it in yourself to do something to be more equitable and democratic in your slashing of jobs. Perhaps one-third of a teacher in each school would garner the 200 job losses needed to fulfill the cuts expressed in Budget 2008.
Yours sincerely,
Mark Conroy
