Begrudgery may be a characteristic of the Irish in general but this guy deserves his bad press(except he doesn't get bad press because he litigates against everyone and he controls a considerable part of the Irish media)

What this country needs are more go-getters like O'Brien, Michael O'Leary etc, and fewer bitter begrudgers who contribute nothing except petty jealousy.

Presumably this was what DOB insisted upon as a condition that he give the interview at all, since he doesn't give many, hardly the actions of a man who "doesn't mind being a target" of media coverage.

BlatentCheek wrote: » Is that the best you can do? Yeah, DOB stole my parking spot years ago so I created a Boards account to get back at him in the most vicious way imaginable: by pointing out that he may in fact "mind being a target" of media coverage. Are you a shill or a troll? I can't tell which.
