They did know that, they also had an agreement with the GAA on a certain number of events to take place. Not only was this bypassed by them, it was going to be bypassed by 150% of what was agreed upon. Only so much you can push your luck and get away with it before it come back and bites you.

This is crucial for the economy. It is estimated the 5 gigs will bring in €50million. Tourists are flying in from all over Europe and America. Hotels are filled. Shops, Restaurants will benefit hugely. 400,000 people have purchased tickets. The spotlight will be on us for hosting a once in a lifetime never to be repeated performance. If we snub it, we are the laughing stock. Our tourism will suffer. Please consider the big picture and do the right thing by allowing all 5 gigs to go ahead!

Steven71 wrote: » Yes it's only a concert very true. But I doubt travel insurance would cover for a concert cancellation. Not sure though. I do have refundable hotel rooms, it would just be the flight....but flying from the UK it's only £80. Not even worth the excess. If these get cancelled, I'll still be coming over. Always wanted to visit Dublin, just will be missing GB.
