Granted both parties could have handled it better, but shocking display of body language (I think at one point he actually smirks and rolls his eyes)? Ouch... plot thickens. The organiser is after deleting his twitter account.

I hope organisers get sued to **** and left penniless..... I think it's pretty clear the best option would be to cancel but I gotta look at alternatives cause feel like I can't let him down - Can anyone local or in the know please post suggestions on where to bring a 10 year old kid in Dublin on a Sunday? Anything considered, incl museums, science orientated stuff or technology etc. Any suggestions greatly appreciated

It stopped at that point - was it moving more freely before then? Either way, the lack of communication was appalling. I was relying on people passing me by and Twitter posts which is clearly where the bleedingcool journalist mined his information from. It's not as if there was an official source that actually handled it properly. I am wondering who that fella is who was yelling at the security that's been doing the rounds on Twitter and other places.
