“I have been noticing the abnormal amount of coverage the Web Summit is getting  across all Denis O’Brien-owned media platforms. It’s almost like he’s behind the whole event. He isn’t is he? Is HE? No? Is HE? NO? NOOOOOOOO? Is HE? He isn’t?

Bitter begrudging keyboard whatsit or cogent observer of Irish flotsam?

We may never know.

“I’m making videos for The Dublin Web Summit [starting this morning at the RDS, Ballsbridge, Dublin]. I did a bit of filming while the crew are doing their final preparations. Here’s Mic Wright, a guy who took time out of his busy schedule to talk about suits.”
