There won't be anything if Garth gets his way.

If you feel that the agreement is ridiculous, fair enough.
But why can't you then criticize those that tried to force through another 5 before ever changing it?

I can, and I said the process should be changed going forward. But absolutely no way should those gigs be cancelled and all those people affected.

THIS
Its 8 nights, in a stadium used will we say,about 15 times max a year? If residents in places like thomond can take a match every second week for most of the year and a concert, surely so can they..

God forbid they'd a match every second week..

Think you will find Croker has more games a year than Thomond by far Munster have 14 home games and usually one or two are moved to Cork they might have one or two more if they get home quarters etc there might be a handful of other games but they wouldn't attract much by the way of crowds, Croker has Dublin league matches club finals plus a whole host of championship matches all summer long often on saturdays and sundays

That's still only 8 nights. So what?

It's the best and biggest stadium the the country, the 3 gig a year agreement is ridiculous and if anything, that's what should be reviewed.

Have you even bothered to do any reading/research into this?
Can you show where the residents of Thomand didn't object to 5 concerts that were to occur in a row?

Were you ever in bed with a fella and he whispered in your ear......."Ah, please, just the tip, I promise".

Soooo many jokes that'd get me banned.

The 3 nights of One Direction is over. Its in the past.

Just (maybe) 5 more. All over in august.

this makes no sense at all its the amount of hassle these people have to put up with, you can't discount the past and its not all over in september the same will happen next year.

I'd say a few of the residents around the area were getting that feeling and foresaw what happens next.

Do you have it in you to admit that if you were one of the 70k travelling from overseas for this, or one of the 160,000 with a ticket for it, how the actions of these residents might be considered just a little selfish?

Aikens may have done wrong but they didn't stop the gig. It's only 5 nights. It's 160,000 people put out and having to cancel their plans.

What about the other 240k who are being put out by Garth throwing his toys outta his pram? Is that not a little more selfish?

They can't complain about matches, or even use them as a reason to complain..

They live next to a stadium, don't like matches of all.things, you move

I feel bad for them but blame should be placed with the promoters and the GAA that broke a deal. It's a sorry mess overall.

Its not only five nights though its eight this year and sure next year it will be ten nights of the Beatles comeback it has to stop somewhere.

Probably posted already, doubt anyone is even reading this thread but Irish Rail and Bus Eireann are doing REFUNDS.

I dont know. Ask the croke park mafia residents. They were threatening crap for months. They did not have to wait for DCC decision to seek an injunction, apparently. Mentioned in some article last week. They dragged dragged it out just as much.

You do realise an injunction is an interim measure to maintain the status quo until all parties can resolve their issues or go to trial to get a court to decide on the outcome?

Why do people keep ignoring the fact that it is Gareth Brooks who is stopping 400,000 drunken fools. The council only stopped 160,000. So Gareth is the one f**king over the other 240,000. Am I missing something here?

Because some people have blinkers on when it comes to Garth. You think for someone who still gets to see him 3 times they'd be happy, but no.
