Eddie Hobbs has been working in financial services since age 16 – through several recessions he’d tell you and probably first came to consumer attention for collapsing the mis-selling of Endowment mortages in the early 90’s. He went on to campaign for disclosure rights for financial consumers and which became law in 2001. Later in the mid noughties his RTE TV exposé Rip Off Republic caused consternation amongst the political establishment. Eddie would describe himself as a maverick, who has had his own up and downs.

Along the way he’s been a prolific writer, an award winning TV presenter and speaker and, occasionally, a consensus – challenging contributor to live radio and TV debates especially on matters related to how Ireland is run.
