Abstract
This essay reflects on a communications intervention organized immediately following
the ‘bailout’ provided to Ireland by the troika of the European Commission, the
International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the European Central Bank (ECB), and preceding
the implementation of an ‘austerity’ budget designed to further the transfer of banking
debt to the sovereign. Reacting to the steadfast official narrative that ‘there is no
alternative’, and the general failure of mainstream journalism to question the framing of
the ‘bailout’, a network of political and community activists, journalists and academics
experimented with ways of challenging the dominant framing of the crisis
