Call for plan to win Web summit back

The Government has been urged to do all it can to win back the Web Summit from Lisbon after the opposition claimed it has so far failed to properly tackle the PR crisis.

Renua Ireland and Fianna Fáil lashed out at the Coalition as Government ministers attempted to side-step ongoing claims from summit organisers over a lack of action on specific concerns raised in recent years.

Speaking as the summit opened its doors for the first of three days of events, before moving to Lisbon next year, Renua leader Lucinda Creighton said the Government needed to draw up a plan to win it back.
