Then why do they have to seek an events license for it to go ahead then.

why are licences needed for a lot of things?

smileyj1987 wrote: »

A lot of factors will be scrutinized

yes.

smileyj1987 wrote: »

if the residents don't back down they could win.

and then again they may not, they may have no option but to back down eventually anyway

Look at aviva 3 concerts a year and that's it.

i suspect the residents objections had only a very small part to play in that decisian

smileyj1987 wrote: »

what's to stop the people of the area wanting the same thing.

as i said nothing, but i can't see them getting what they want, otherwise it could eventually lead to them objecting to sporting events also

They would never be able to object to sporting events taking place . It's a sports stadium . They can object and seek to have concerts blocked if they wish because it's not a typical concert venue .

I'd LOVE to know where you're from that the women can do that? Classy :rolleyes:

I gave my account, 100% truthful of my time living there.
It was the same for a lot of my neighbours who had yokels up to the big shmoke and thought it was "mighty craic altogether" to urinate into peoples homes, vomit all over my window and sill and other areas of the house, go to the toilet while leaning back against my hall door on my front step and leave their feaces there. I saw countless cars damaged and actually got into a verbal confrontation one time with two dunderheads who were standing on the bonnet of the man across the roads car after a gig. I told them to get off and was told to F*ck off! I put my coat on, closed my hall door and walked out and found a guard. Told him what had just happened and was told "What do you want me to do about it? They'll be long gone by now"

Its a sad state of affairs when people just think that anyone who relays what they have seen happen on the street where they live are all just "moaners".

I'll wager if any of the above were to happen to some of the posters on here, on one SINGLE occassion you could bet the farm on it the would be in AH like a shot raising all sorts of hell.

Its against the law to sh1t and piss in public?

What did the garda do after you brought some wrong doing to his attention?

If nothing, did you make a complaint to garda ombudsman on the gardas negligance?

It must be due to your opinion of the fairer sexes acrobatic ability to relieve themselves so!

I will 100% guarantee that these concerts will go ahead. Its a multi-million venture, millions have been paid out already on promotion etc. I'm sure the feasibility has been scrutinised before it was announced. Aitken are a huge company, not 2 young lads putting together a student night.

As much as they want to think they are important, the residents are a minor inconvenience to this, and nothing more.

Wow - that pretty much sums up your attitude? I bet you're a really nice neighbour!

Flouting the terms of the planning application is actually worse.

One thing this has shown though is the defensive arrogance of the GAA and some of its supporters.

Some of you have as good as stated you think its a good thing a commercial organisation can flout planning and inconvenience an entire community and the only alternative to this is to basically get out of the area if you don't like it.

The arrogance is mind blowing and symptomatic of the gombeen culture of this country of which the GAA is a major part.

One thing it has shown up is the people who'll use anything to have a go at the GAA.

AFAIK there was no concerts last year so that's probably why they planned 4 or 5 this year. 5 in a row seems a lot but obviously there's a huge demand there.

Thankfully, no.
But having seen the certain section of society that attend certain concerts, I have no doubt in their ability to do so.
Reckon they aren't used to using "indoor conveniences"

RobbingBandit · 07-02-2014 09:24PM

Bet the residents will still be out on the road on the day of each concert with their dodgy made Garth Brooks merchandise trying to take advantage.

I don't think it's a case of people using any excuse to have a go at the GAA! I'm a great fan of the GAA, played it, my kids play it, I'd be in croke park maybe 4 times a year. But the GAA have a responsibility to be a good neighbour, just like everybody else, and I think that they are falling short allowing 5 or 6 concerts in a row there. Aside from planning or licensing issues. Just normal 'neighbourly' stuff.

Apparently a lot of Irish people abroad are coming home for the Garth Brooks concert. We spend all of 2013 trying to make the Gathering a success and an American C&W singer sorts it all out in 5 days.

You can spot the culchies in this thread a mile off.Don't care/understand that their beloved GAA and Aiken have broken planning laws by exceeding 3 concerts per year and don't give two sh!tes about the legitimate problems local residents experience as long as they get their day of fun up in the big schmoke.

Same crowd telling residents to ''just get on with it'' or slagging them off for looking for compensation would scream blue murder if the ESB wanted to put a pylon in the middle of one of their fields.

Emmm...this is awkward...I'm a culchie! & I have done nothing but empathise with residents... generalisations aren't a good idea especially when your a Dub :-P

Kidding

I don't know, it's a hard one to call.

the majority of the people living there, are there for a long long time and concerts and night events were never on the agenda for them until the last 10-20 years or so.

Diabhal Beag · 07-02-2014 09:45PM

GET YER GARTH BROOKS HATS, SCARVES AND HEADBANDS. HATS, SCARVES AND HEADBANDS.

That alone in would drive you mental, nevermind the actual gig.

First pop concert if you can call it that was 1984 with Neil Diamond.

But you are a Garth Brooks fan though right?
Along with Hard Luck woman, River of Love and several other posters on here who are very nonchalant and in some cases downright arrogant and rude about what happens to the people who actually live there.

Just as long as you can see Gareth though, that's the main thing! :rolleyes:;)
