    Sorry to confirm the bad news fellas, from kildare website :(


    Kildare County Council
    1 June 2006

    CANCELLATION OF AIR SHOW

    Kildare County Council has today (1 June) learned of the cancellation of the Mach 1 Air Show which had been scheduled for 4 and 5 June at Punchestown. A council spokesman has pointed out that the event was cancelled by the show’s organisers and not by the local authority.

    The organisers’ agent asked the county council in January whether an event licence was required for the show. He was told that in the council’s opinion a licence was required, and was offered an opportunity to test this by getting legal advice or by submitting a case for consideration.

    No application for an event licence was made to the county council.

    The air show’s organisers have incorrectly claimed that the Irish Aviation Authority is the only statutory body that can licence an air show. The air show also required an event licence and every opportunity was available to the organisers to apply for one. The fact that they did not avail of such an opportunity is a matter of regret. Kildare County Council has never refused any application made for an event licence.

    The council sympathises with all the people who were looking forward to the air show and who will now be disappointed at its cancellation.

    The requirement for an event licence for the show is laid down in the Planning and Development Act 2000, (Section 230 – copy attached). The county council had no choice but to tell the promoter that a licence was required for the air show: any other advice would have been dishonest and misleading.
