Forbes to host major event in Limerick following controversial article

The magazine had been lambasted following the publication of the article which profiled the Castletroy-educated co-founders of major multinational firm Stripe, John and Patrick Collison.

Patrick and John Collison, co-founders of Stripe, both slammed the portrayal of Limerick in Forbes magazine.

Forbes' chief content editor has committed to hosting an event from Limerick city which could attract an audience of hundreds of millions, following a controversial article about the Treaty City.

The business magazine’s editor said they will host a Forbes ‘30 under 30’ gathering, that would be covered across its global platforms which reach a monthly audience of approximately 200m.
