Thats absolutely not what happened.

Irish people support endeavour and the fruits of hard work, if we didn't, we wouldnt have a country positioned where it is in the world market.

Unlike other races, we just dont tolerate d1ckheads. Ever.

He didn't invent facebook or something like Dropbox, he did an exhibition, an EXHIBITION.

Ah but it’s the exhibition that made Ireland a tech hub :pac:

By all accounts the real business is done over a couple of pints well away from the night summits, lisbon is gonna have a very different culture that will find it hard to replicate that

Don't get this. Lisbon is not a dry city and those who want to drink will go out and drink.

What real business gets done anyway?

By many accounts, very little business is done. All hype and no substance.

We had someone who was doing something that would benefit the people of Ireland and we do our best to ridicule him to the point that he declines the opportunity to have it discussed and fleshed out on national TV as if he had some ulterior motive.

Paddy is a hero for highlighting the issue of Catholic schools!

You obviously don't know what begrudgery is.

He brought everything on himself with the web of lies he spun and then collapsed around him, if he had stayed quiet and done nothing with the emails none of this would have happened, but he couldnt keep his ego in check

After all this time you still actually believe poor Paddy has been wronged? He's the clown who brought this upon himself remember. And when it's backfired, the once media whore is pulling out of appearances and interviews left, right and centre.

I wonder what RTE staffer they have on standby to fill the 15 minute slot tomorrow night. The late late may have been worth watching back on RTE player for once.

Well he's made at least one good PR move by turning down the invitation to appear on the LLS. Clearly somebody isn't afraid to give Paddy some home truths and advised him that an appearance on the LLS would be a disaster for him.

I dunno, sounds like it was set up to be an armchair ride from Tubs:

"They're living in a world where ambition, creativity and cajones are considered admirable and celebrated," Mr Tubridy said of Mr Cosgrave and the Web Summit organisers.

"They've come to Ireland - we're a nation of wing-clippers. Honestly if we see wings spanning out too much, we'll clip them, and I think they're suffering from that. I think the media need to back off a little bit. I also think the Web Summit guys might need to rein their necks in a little. And we could have peace and love and get this back here where it belongs."

Imagine the Twitter response though. An easy interview would compound that.

When Roy Hattersley pulled out of Have I Got News For You, they replaced him with a tub of lard. The Late Late should replace Cosgrave with a massive heap of bull shit.

RTE should be able to supply that easily from its vast reserves of same.

An infallible confidence in himself, a vast superiority complex, is what made Cosgrave. He's basically a marketing man with no special talent. There's always been a large portion of bull**** mixed in with that confidence, but now the bull**** has taken over entirely and made him look like a prize idiot.

Six weeks since Cosgrave announced the Web Summit was moving to Lisbon, he still hasn't managed to put any flesh on the bones of what his problem with the Government was.

Jose Mourinho should console himself with the fact that no matter how big a tool you're making of yourself, there's always somebody, somewhere making a bigger tool of themselves.

Its amazing how this thread has turned and everyone can see the bull****ter. He not a tech savy person who creates things but is basically a promoter. Give him nerdy night in coppers on a Tuesday to promote, he'll be grand.

It's a Trinners BESS thing. Another prize tool and bull**** artist, John McGuirk, was a contemporary of his there.

It looks like Tubridy might not be too hard on him....

So, all of Tubridy's kowtowing to Cosgrave has
come to nothing, now that Paddy had chickened
out of the LLS!!

Being threatened by Cosgrave is most likely similar to being 'bought out' by Bill Gates

Wasn't that really sickening?! Or, maybe, he was setting up PC for a fall, as someone already suggested. Shucks, we'll never know now.

Sure in 2017 there will be a thread here in AH about "what ever happened to Paddy Cosgrave".

The man is a A1 wanker. I have no interest in computers but when this bellend is all over the news you cant help but read.

He comes across as nothing but a conman.

What he runs is not unlike the timeshare things you get bombarded with on holidays.

Sure you might just get something out it but in reality you will be €1000's down because you got sucked in by some twats sales patter.

In the UK it maybe be borderline fraud. The sort of thing you see on Watchdog on the BBC or Dispatches on Ch4..

This is the case at all conferences; some companies don't even bother getting tickets to these things and just turn up to the known watering holes in the evening or set up dinner 'dates' instead.

Lisbon, like most cities will have plenty of options. Whether the locals have a pub culture or not is irrelevant.

ill explain.
a number of people on this thread called me Paddy, after the guy that runs the summit. They were of course making fun implying that because Im actually defending the thing, I must be Paddy himself... or connected to him and his company in some way. This is not the case so I decided to take the piss out of their lowbrow and lazy humour by form of replication and by twisting around language with things such as "ha has" instead of "lols" and a few "hurr hurr hurr"s to imply the noise I would insinuate they make in real life after posting. Of course they dont make that noise, but Im saying they might as well because the only people that would laugh are themselves and like-minded individuals.

Then I added in an edit because I thought about it and thought "due to how unoriginal and unfunny they are and the forum this is in, one person will probably go 'take it easy paddy' as if they have seen an amazing opportunity for humour" (Im using sarcasm here btw). And then I added in the "mad banter" bit because that is kind of a colloquialism nowadays for not actually being funny.
I hope this helps

The problem for viewers of the LLS is that Tubs will feel that he can relate to Paddy Cosgrave , 'persecuted talent' 'victims of begrudgery' and so on

To those that claim RTE is a puppet for the government you are simply showing your ignorance of Irish politics, RTE is loaded with stickies and FF heads, not sure they'd do the governments bidding

The sticky thing in RTE was 30 years ago!!!

Plus, Ireland were in 24th position in the most recent Global competitiveness report, and only 11th in the EU. Hardly an amazing position.

Considering we are small island with a tiny population and there are 200 odd countries in the world 28 of which are in the EU I would say 24th and 11th respectively Is damn good
