Sir, – The proffered excuse ("Old problems surface one last time at Web Summit", November 3rd) was that the event "got too big" for Dublin city! Paddy Cosgrave then qualified that by saying Dublin was a great city to hold the summit in and he believed it could be held here again in the future.
Read between these lines and you’ll discover our homework assignment.
In the meantime we’re to expand the city, build more cheap hotels, introduce mindfulness questions on the driver theory test and saturate our metropolis with 5G wifi access points. – Yours, etc,

Sir, – It’s almost 10am and I have not heard one word on the radio about the Web Summit since rising at 6.30. Is something wrong? – Yours, etc,

Sir, – With the Web Summit set to move on to bigger and better things next year, perhaps it’s time Dublin hosted an event tailored to less tech-savvy types. I would suggest the “Pleb Summit” as a suitable title. – Yours, etc,
BRIAN AHERN,
Clonsilla, Dublin 15.
Sir, – Well done to all at the Web Summit. I didn’t think it could be done but they did it – a gathering that’s even more insufferably smug than Davos.
Let me know when it’s over. – Yours, etc,
