Paddy Cosgrave,Web Summit,Resignation

Paddy Cosgrave's resignation as chief executive of Web Summit was connected to his tweets about the Israel-Hamas conflict, according to his lawyers. The move was deemed to be in the best interests of the technology events company. Co-founders of Web Summit, Daire Hickey and David Kelly, are seeking further disclosure of documents in their separate cases against the firm and Mr Cosgrave, alleging oppression of their rights as minority shareholders.

Paddy Cosgrave denies his resignation as chief executive of Web Summit came in circumstances where his position had become “untenable”. The co-founder’s lawyers told the court he stepped down last October after concluding this was in the best interests of the technology events company.

It is admitted that this move was directly connected to a series of tweets he made about the Israel-Hamas conflict earlier that month and that the tweets had consequences for the business.
