Paddy Cosgrave why all the hate?

The more I read about him the bigger a cnut he seems to be.

Young (now young-ish) guy who has rumpled the feathers of the thick Irish elite. Of course he's not without his annoyances but there's a whole segment of Irish public that will never view FFG and the IT/Indo in the same way ever again. It's a mystery that it took the Irish public so long. But seems we're thick too and you get the politicians you deserve. Paddy has made a dent in the Irish universe.

Having to pay someone off over a bullying claim would suggest there's more about him than 'annoyances'.

He's just another knob head on Twitter looking for attention.

Hes an elitist twat who thinks hes the next steve jobs or bill gates leading the way in tech but hes really just a self important narcissist and half decent event promoter.

Are the Indo in bad form as they cannot get their snow, or some other problem? I do not see what Paddy Cosgrove has done to the Indo. If if he did act unfairly to an employee or employees, I'm struggle to see the public interest here. Even with its Belgian ownership some oligarch must have whispered into the ear of its editor. Incestuous isn't a strong enough word for the Irish ruling class (I won't call them an elite, they are the opposite of an elite).

Because he's a hypocrite.

Paddy Cosgrave admits he can be seen as hypocritical for launching a campaign against certain Irish tax structures, while availing of low-tax schemes in the US.

In what way? They are just reporting news, its nobodies fault but his if its negative.

I have never met a single person who worked for the web summit that had a good thing to say about him, a good friend of mine was part of the mass layoffs the week after the last Dublin summit, he then hired my friends assistant as a replacement for half the salary, by all accounts i heard this tactic was repeated across the company at the time. Of course hes perfectly entitled to do it but dont expecty anybody on the receving end to be singing your praises after it.

If nobody has anything good to say about him it could absolutely be that theres a co-ordinated agenda arrayed against him or its simply that hes a cvnt and theres not many people left willing to put up with his bullshit and happy to help shine up his sh1t for him anymore.
