Bruton: No tension with Web Summit organisers

Jobs Minister Richard Bruton said there is no tension between the Web Summit organisers and the Government.

Speaking at day two of the event in Dublin’s RDS, Mr Bruton said he was aware of “others” who are interested in creating another similar event in the wake of the conference’s exit.

“Not at all, I know Paddy [Cosgrave, summit co-founder] well. I’ve known him for years. I’ve participated with him at earlier events.
