We need a hi-tech, multi-purpose venue for events like Web Summit

Of course, the Government supports the Web Summit (Irish Examiner, October 17)). That is their statement. Would they say otherwise?

Yet, it does not manifest itself in tangible, concrete forms, but merely, as one of your article suggests, as a photo opportunity.

Let’s be clear: the RDS, as an exhibition centre, has seen its day. Whatever its limitations for exhibitions, it is totally unsuitable for the presentation and housing of modern, high-spec technological events. What is needed is a new-build construction with internal, multi-purpose adaptabilities and wiring.
