A video criticising Paddy Cosgrave for his recent social media comments on Israel has been taken down from both X (formerly Twitter) and YouTube following a copyright claim from Web Summit.

The move comes as Web Summit on Tuesday evening announced it has pulled funding for The Ditch, the investigative website whose reporting led to the resignations of junior ministers Robert Troy and Damien English, and the deputy chair of An Bord Pleanála Paul Hyde.
