The global contraction in the fortunes of #SiliconValley companies is now making an appearance in #Dublin as Meta/Facebook opt out of occupying a major block of commercial property in the capital city

Where and how else will this contraction be felt in the #IrishEconomy?

Been amazed but not surprised to see the stories about Altada being done by the Business Post, here is the latest one. https://www.businesspost.ie/tech/receiver-appointed-to-altada-following-months-of-financial-difficulties/

From what I can gather, they are in serious financial difficulties, the bosses have been creaming off the the company and finally an examiner has been appointed.

I hope the Business Post do more stories about dodgy and / or badly run Irish tech firms.

Opinions are my own, clothes may be borrowed, optimism likely

@klillington Excellent piece Karlin. Thanks for bringing Ludgate's name forward into the light so we can all have a better look. My Great Grandparents lived nearby at 37 Fitzroy. I wonder if they ever rubbed shoulders inadvertently? Here they are in their studio finery taken around the time that Percy was doing his work
