“the controversial decision to pull the Web Summit from Ireland” – The RDS was too small, he had to move it. The only ‘controversial’ bit is how the media repeated his PR nonsense about roads and hotels and gave him a tonne of free publicity.
PR nonsense repeated via RTE via Broadsheet.
It wasn’t too small, he was being asked to pay full price for us of the facilities and got offended.
He thinks his greatness and genius should be subsidized because he cant be expected to turn a profit on his own.

Love the piece in the current Phoenix about Anne Harris of the Indo being a mentor to John Ryan of BS and how Broadsheet pulled a DInny piece – I’ll stay in SPAR and read that for free.

Yikes.
Says Benjamin Button there.
Seriously, does anyone with a brain and a life actually watch that show?
Oh come on; I’ve seen much worse line-ups.
And yes it can be pretty banal a lot of the time.
But then the self-congratulatory, high(er)-brow BS regular isn’t exactly its main demographic!
“his solutions to our property crisis”? The only viable contribution Paddy could make to the housing crisis would be to move to Portugal full time.
Cosgrave kicked bottom on Marian Finucane a few months back when he was asked about property. A rock of sense. Expect more of the same tomorrow.
Naturally, someone who uses the phrase ‘kicked bottom’ would love Paddy Cosgrave….
Paddy had some great ideas like building more houses and making them affordable, its a pity we lost him to Portugal with that kind of revolutionary thinking.
The ‘solutions’ to the housing crisis are not a mystery and we don’t need Paddy’s Arts degree education to tell us.
The government knows very well the solutions but have no interest in implementing the necessary changes. The people who vote for FF and FG like high property prices and neither party will rock that boat.
I hate the show, I hate the conversation about the show and I hate the people who watch it and give it their full attention. Embarrassing.

But..but….. Amy Huberman. She hasn’t been on RTE since Monday.
How’s the anti-corruption crusade coming along?
