Has Paddy Cosgrave overstepped the mark?

I hate the Irish begrudgery that tears down decent people who get ahead and plough their own furrow and are delighted if they fail.

Cosgrave didn’t experience that. He is experiencing something much worse.

He bullied his way through life and puffed up being an event planner and pretended his family connections and money had nothing to do with. Went around throwing rocks at everyone.

It really must be incomprehensible to him that a tweet of no real consequence in the greater scheme of things has ended his power. He’s continuing to behave in the same way that brought him success and it is only serving to burn his fiefdom to the ground even more quickly.

I’d wager some Cosgrave loyalist kept running the company on his orders delivered via WhatsApp. Undermining any action towards change in the organisation.

I hate begrudgery but that's not what I feel about Paddy. I love seeing guys like Collisons go out and make a name for themselves.

Paddy has trampled all over people, hired graduated and then not paid them. The reviews of his company say a lot when you find them on the web.

He ran around for years after FG, sucked up to them at every chance. Then when he didn't get his way he has run a vendetta for years. Also his way would have been terrible for a lot of people in Dublin when he wanted to take over the city for the duration of the event.

Going after FG was one thing, but then going around doxing people on twitter so they could get abuse from his army just because they support FG or in some cases just because they didn't support SF was the final straw for a few people.

He is a clown, gets too much air time anyway in Ireland, let him off to Portugal and let them deal with him. Unfortunately I expect if Sinn Fein get in they will have to make good on wahtever promise them have made to get his support so who knows what that will be, I can only guess he will be given the keys to Dubin to run his event.

If Cosgrave himself were to come back as CEO, it would remind me of that Tenacious D song "City Hall", where they orchestrate the total collapse of society:

But just one king. A total onekinger.

‘So Paddy, the company was teetering on the edge?’

’Yes’

’So you came back and gave it the final push to utter destruction.’

The above is a gross exaggeration and work of fiction.

Cosgrave would never give that short of an answer.

Paddy just cant ever let anything go can he....

Not sure if anyone else pays attention to Paddy on twitter but i think hes starting to get an understanding about how off base he is with many of his views after his entirely valid criticism of Grift.ie is being met with outrage by many of his usual supporters.

Which story is he suing them over?

The coffee grinds in the sink?

He did say Irish media group though...

If only there was a way they could both lose

Youth Defence, grift.ie owners, have deep american pockets

You need a good reputation to start with in these cases. He’ll end up like the SF MLA recently, a man who admitted and traded on his reputation of being a murderer sued over being called a murderer and lost completely IIRC.

Judge: ’But Mr Cosgrave you are a dose. It was a fair comment. We’ll see you tomorrow for whatever other case we’re hearing as a result of your ego being wounded.’

Isnt there a thread about this wànker already?

Naw - I just despise Cosgrave. Arrogant jumped up pr1ck.

Paddy is an intriguing character. He gets fixated on an issue and runs hard with it. He's a little bit like a slurry spreader. For the city folk on here, these agricultural machinery look like this:

In other words, spread enough faeces in the hope that some sticks - this time though, he might be on to something...

I'd imagine he's paying off politicians from the drug money,they probably prefer cash. And he's using the legitimate business to pay for his lavish lifestyle. 🤣

Nothing petty about it at all, politicians are hounds for publicity and photo ops. If the result is they get photographed with somebody later found to be in possession of 33 million euros of illegal drugs, tough.

They don't even see how bad it looks when they fraternise with someone who has already been up to something or engaged in cute hoorism. E.g. M. Martin at various launches in Westmeath with Robert Troy beside him in every photo. If Martin had any integrity he'd tell Troy to fcuk off, of course he won't, he'll do the opposite, get Troy into photos to "rehabilitate" him for the next GE.

He’s an absolute legend, a great guy. Born into FG stock he could easily have done what the rest of them do. But he has standards for his country. PC exposes the corruption, clientelism, backslapping and the incompetence of FF/FG....and they hate him for it.

He's not even someone we'd be all that aware of were it not for twitter notoriety. Twitter is a pox

Nah hes just a narcissistic hypocrite who subscribes to "rules for thee but not for me" which is ironic considering its what he accuses all his enemies of doing.

Think we've gotten to the stage he deserves his own twitter account along the lines of "Paddy Disagrees with Paddy"

Claims hes being threatened legally about some press conference he wants to hold about the allegations. IF he had the evidence to back up his claims he wouldn't need to back down to legal threats. Basically the 4 dead nurses again.
