Expo Centre possibility?

    Hello all,

    Just wondering how likely it could be that a public entertainment licence would be granted for an expo centre type building somewhere in the dublin commuter belt?
    As in, if I were to purchase a piece of land, of a few acres in size, erect some buildings suitable for the staging of concerts, musicians, shows, festivals etc, how likely is it that I would be granted a licence to operate the premises legally, and serve alcohol, given the consent of neighbours within earshot (if any) of course?
    And more importantly, how would one go about applying for such licences in the first place?

    Are they granted as temporary only or are perm ones availiable?

    What are the time restrictions placed on such events also?
    Are they limited to pub/club opening hours, eg, 2.30am region?
    Would it be possible to rent an existing piece of land/farmland with suitable structures in place and use that, with the owners consent and express permission obviously?
    Just pondering, sorry for all the questions, any input greatly appreciated!
    Cheers!

    Planning permission seems like a bigger issue here than getting a licence!

    If it is for ongoing events, you need planning permission for the premises, just like a concert hall or a stadium would.

    For occassional events, like music concerts in rural areas, you would need a licence from the council. I'm not sure what happens with one-off events.

    You may need separate licences for sale of alcohol and for music / dancing.
