But tickets were sold for five Garth Brooks concerts in July, on top of three concerts by One Direction last month

If Derek Ryan gets a go in and I hope he does, I hope he brings Sharon Shannon due to his collaboration with her for his new single. She's always great for getting the crowd going. I have a little news to tell but will do so later because I'm busy and just taking a little peep at boards.

But then if you show up at 7.30 to find Garth Brooks on the stage !!! So people might come along anyway and sit in their seats. But there's nothing to do in the seats but go the bar and get p!ssed, for two hours! Come out of croke park plastered and yeah the residents aren't happy. Should just put some one playing.

So what now? Wait for a decision on the licenses from DCC and if granted run to the high court for an injunction to stop the gigs from going ahead?
The only thing that many people are looking forward. A bit of a pick up in the worst recession that has hit the history of the state where many have been effected by many ways. A small bit of hope and light.
