I thought his treatment of Philip Boucher Hayes crossed a line.
For a man who made so much use of the media in building his successful business his memory is short.
Such a public abuse of a journalist doing his job is thankfully quite rare.

I was wondering who this Paddy was, so I looked here to see the list of guests on yesterday's programme.

As I suspected, it was Paddy Cosgrave. No need to listen to the item, then.

Paddy is a partner in a new company- it captures data on the firms that participate in his web summit with a view to identifying those worth investing in.
It's essentially a venture fund worth $50m and is based in San Fran to be close to the centre of the IT sector there. But it's incorporated in Delaware which has been designated as a tax shelter

.

He was on Drivetime yesterday after 5.30pm and had his posterior handed to him on this issue. Gas radio

Going to go against the consensus here, but I don't get the hate against Paddy Cosgrave (for the most part anyway).
He comes accross as a bit of a prima-donna and I'd say would be terrible to work with/for.
That said, he set up a highly successful tech convention that brought major players from companies with eye-watering valuations, brought these big hitters to Dublin. He did it. Not any Government dept. He wanted our Government to get onside and give him a good bit of leeway - certainly a cheeky move but worth it.
Our 2-bit golf-club chairmen of a government didn't have the foresight to engage and court 'the men from the internet' while other governments (such as the UK and France) were over here in force at the time.
Previously he has had some interesting topics around the Irish economy and government policy that make sense to me. (I'll post a link if I can grab it)
This most recent interview he's definitely in a mood to wind-up the government and it seems to be working judging by the pearl-clutching performance of whatever gombeen they had on with him.

Found the link : (web summit) https://www.rte.ie/radio1/marian-finucane/programmes/2017/1014/912337-marian-finucane-saturday-14-october-2017/
The thrust of what he says:
'Free market' mean a market free of overhead of 'rentier' claims on wealth. Property owners should be taxed out of existence as wealth is created by a virtuous cycle of consumption and production - people who create wealth build businesses - they don't go to lunch and get rich by doing effectively nothing.

That has to be a first, I've never heard them change the jingle when someone is standing in for the anchor presenter.

Just listening back on podcast. Will have to see if Pat has better podcasts than before (they used only release the odd story, not the whole show).

They had Katie Hannon covering last week, she was excellent. But we're stuck with Miriam :-(

Just heard the end of an interview with the mother of the boys Tom hanks made the video for.

Mother finishes off by saying thanks to Tom if you ever listen to miriams wonderful show...

It's not miriams show its Sean's show

Yet man keeps calling her "Marian".

Odyssey 2005 · 24-04-2019 10:20AM

It's getting even clearer that Harris is in completely over his head. This is a very disturbing topic. The idior couldn't run an icecream van.

The jingle change was also done the last time she stood in, for an extended period, for SOR.

Noticeable how Des and Miriam maintain basic manners but barely get on

Beechwoodspark · 25-04-2019 10:11AM

Miriam is insufferable. Stealing a living.

elperello · 25-04-2019 12:16PM

I thought she did an excellent job of the interview with Vicky Phelan.
Not saying S0'R couldn't have handled it but she brought a special touch to an appallingly sad subject.

padd b1975 · 25-04-2019 12:31PM

I can't cope with her lisp and faux sincerity.

Newstalk only for the duration of her tenure.

It’s striking how she doesn’t try the fake act with Des Cahill. I’d say there’s history there

She didn't yesterday, but when she was covering last year she was usually very frosty or bored sounding with Paddy O'Gorman too...

Don’t think that’s Miriam’s fault...was listening to Des on Morning Ireland this week...Gavin Jennings handed over to him for the Sports Bulletin with a pleasant comment-Des didn’t even acknowledge it. Thought at the time that Des was incredibly rude & unprofessional.

I think she does a very good job...She wasnt taking any nonsense from Mary Lou this morning...
