Funny that because i know the people who have the contracts for croker security and i spoke to one today and he says he is still waiting to hear back.

security for garth is being done by sword. G4S and Crokers own. G4s contacted security this week, maintaining availability as its at the height of summer and informed of what they imagine roles will be..

Im.only passing on information i received myself. Id actually assumed licence had been granted due to the phonecall.

You obviously have no idea how little the guards want to get involved during a peacefull protest. Last summer small groups of 20 - 30 people brought Dublin to a standstill during rush hour traffic by blocking three major junctions. The guards went nowhere near them. If the residents do cause a blockade people will be turned away I'd imagine.

From what I've heard, it's going ahead. From a very well placed source. Now all I need to worry about is what pub to hit beforehand, and afterwards.

Do us a favour?
Post on here which pub "all y'all" garthy fans will be congregating in so we can all avoid it like the plague.

Do you really need to ask what pub country folk who are into **** things are going to be at, given that the gig's on in Drumcondra?

Rough Sleeper · 27-05-2014 01:10AM

Actually, I'll give you a hint: it's owned by NAMA and rhymes with "bins."

Actually in there is pretty Dub now, the times I have popped in the last few months seems a big change of crowd from the country student teachers that used to be there the times I was in before in the mid 2000's.
I think the Big Tree whenever it opens is more of a culchie drinking spot.

I'm from Dublin, so I wouldn't have a clue where "country folk" will be.

But it won't be the cars locking the trucks from going down the street will it? It will be the PEACEFUL protesters who will be blocking the entrance to the streets. If the residents happen to be bad at parking on those narrow streets then so be it.

The gards won't take sides. If a vehicle is illegally parked and preventing emergency services from a route then it will be removed at the owners cost.

What if an ambulance is prevented from attending a patient due to an car badly parked?
That is how the emergency services will view the situation. God forbid that that scenario happens.

That_Girl_ Is_ A_Cowboy · 27-05-2014 06:42AM

The licenses have been granted. It's all above abroad. What will ye be protesting about?

To suddenly have a stadium next door? And shock horror, for it to be in use?

You don't even need to go back to last year, no riot squads moving in on the protesters who are blocking the water meter installation.

Now you're thinking like the residents - do you see our problem?

blueser · 27-05-2014 07:43AM

After all those hormonal, hysterical teenagers last weekend, I'd have thought all those middle aged, wannabe cowboys and cowgirls will be a piece of cake in comparison. Yee-haw!

They don't neef to go that far. Just make an absolute nuisence of themselves, make it as awkward as possible and cause as much disruption as possible so that it will be harder to get permission next time round

Creative obstructionism. The most useful under utilised tool of the protest group.

Exactly

Easy enough to park cars in a way that leaves plenty of room for an ambulance or fire engine but not a couple of 40 ft lorries carrying equipment.

Have you read some of the female Garth Brooks fans posts? The gutter mouthed rantings of Xanax boosted fanatics. The last thing you want is this lot topped up with cheap sauv blanc any where near you.

Saying you have a source is not the same as revealing your source. You can't make bold statements like "The licenses have been granted" like it's fact and then withhold your source. That is just nincompoopery.

Of the week? It's only Tuesday...

OldGoat · 27-05-2014 09:07AM

I only came across the word last Wednesday. Besides, a week is a week from whatever point you start in it. A repeating cycle is circulartorical.

Psychobabble · 27-05-2014 09:07AM

It would be surprising if the Council had made their decision on this just yet. The deadline for Observations was just last Wednesday; It's likely they're still sifting through those and distributing them to the Statutory Bodies for discussion, ahead of their meeting on this. There is still also the very real possibility of Oral Hearings, as Councillors have already agreed a motion supporting this.
Once the statutory avenues have been exhausted, Residents are within their rights to then use the legal approaches. It would be up to a judge to decide if the planning process had been duely adhered to.

Its a "Talk to Joe" article, what can you expect? :rolleyes:
I actually cringe at what that rag prints.
Deirdre never apparantly bothered her backside to ring the guards despite her wailing and hand wringing.
What did she do???
She rang liveline and got a MARKER to colour in the t-shirt. :eek::D:rolleyes:
You really couldn't make it up.

It was clear to me that Deirdre rang Joe in the hope that Niall Horan would hear, take pity and arrive at her house to present her, sorry I mean the child, with a new T-shirt and cap.
....and Horan will fall madly in love with her and whisk her away from all this misery, of course.

The decision has been made. They are just going through the motions. (like the fish in Dublin Bay)
