    As the residents/DCC are getting heaps of abuse for cancelling two shows, will GB get the same for cancelling the other 3?

    None of that dates had a licence at the time they were put on sale.

    Is it possible to get a licence before selling tickets or is it something that has to be done within a period or weeks or months of the event? I have been looking up news articles but can't see this, I'm curious because organising any massive event when you don't know if you could get a licence must be a massive risk, I would have thought the first thing they would want to know is are they allowed?

    a few of irelands 400k on the scratcher could even get a weeks work over there out of it!

    He wouldn't sell anywhere near the same amount of tickets in the UK
    Just Ireland and the hillbilly states in the US

    Did €91 million towards its redevelopment come from public funds or not?

    People seem to be forgetting the biggest victims here. What are Shane Filan and Nathan Carter going to do with themselves on those nights now?

    no they didn't, the promotors got away with it, they have a precedent of 7 concerts in one year now

    They will still have to pay Garth Brooks for 2 non-existent gigs.

    Why would he , sure the event was replanned and recosted based on 5 shows. Besides which its a situation of the residents doing not GB

    Also, it's notable that a certain Minister for Tourism has not interjected here at some level given the further damage the cancellation of all 5 gigs will do to Ireland

    It's neither here nor there where the money came from. It has absolutely nothing to do with this.

    I can only imagine in the centre of a capital city Most people accept the fact that in a capital city there is noise concerts trains cars and more.

    why DCC?

    Aiken were the ones who left it to the last minute to apply for the licence.

    Why didn't they apply for it the day after the 5th gig selling out, allowing the DCC to make a decision, and then for fans to make alternative arrangements, or for Residents to take legal action as they said they would.

    Answer - they assumed leaving it to the last minute that the DCC could not possible decline the licence and that Judge would not stop it due to the timing of it.

    Aiken are totally at fault here imo.

    Alkien and GAA going ahead and selling tickets to a concert they hadn't a licence for...

    ..and people are blaming the residents..?

    Also the latest stunt of "Poor Gareth can't decide which concert to play so be all or none" - again, blame Alkien and GAA for this scenario..

    Have to say I'm bemused by the whole the thing, but I do have sympathy for people who queued for tickets. They would have assumed that the tickets they were buying were for a licenced event

    You said residents have a right. I said 400,000 people have a bigger right to use a building that cost the taxpayer €91 million.

    Point stands

    Statement in from Brooks

    For us, it is five shows or none at all. To choose which shows to do and which shows not to do, would be like asking to choose one child over another".

    I think some are blaming it for making the decision so late.. BUT they only had to make it so late because Aiken submitted so late.

    People have the right to enjoy the stadium any time there is a licenced event taking place. I'm not allowed walk my dog there or have a picnic because it is private property.

    This smacks of trying to add pressure, and nothing else.
    It's like Aiken waiting until the last minute to apply for the licence, when they knew that they would be objections to the 5 nights.
    Just hoping that the sellouts would pressure the DCC into siding with them.

    If GB doesn't play the three nights, he is the one who anger should be directed at.

    I have sat opposite Owen Keegan in a business meeting, I can tell you that putting a gun to his head is the utterly wrong approach as he would off his mother to spite his granny.

    Thats all 5 shows goosed folks, dust off those CDs and wear 'em out.
