The High Court is set to hear revealing details on the workings of one of Ireland’s most high profile companies: Web Summit.

In a civil trial that is set to last nine weeks, the three former friends who founded the tech events company – Paddy Cosgrave, David Kelly and Daire Hickey – will lay out their grievances against each other.

Cosgrave, the better known of the three, has a majority stake in the company with a whopping 81 per cent, Hickey has 7 per cent and Kelly 12 per cent.

There are five individual cases to be heard in a civil trial that is expected to last around nine weeks.

Catherine Sanz, author of Drama Drives Interest: The Web Summit Story explains the background while Irish Times business reporter Ian Curren tells what dirty laundry might be aired.
