    Residents objected, county council denied 2 days, Garth brooks says it's 5 or nothing, residents sh1t themselves and try to back paddle, council tells them to F off.

    There are 2 sets of residents, 1 group has been vocal since day 1 about wanting these gigs cancelled, They were organised and did everything above board

    The other group didn't say or do anything until after the license was refused and their plan of attack is to go the pub and shout louder.

    Ask not what Ireland can do for you but rather what you can do for Ireland.

    Mr Keegan should look to have all those comments regarding the decision retracted as they are casting serious doubts about his ability to do his job. We've even had Kenny questioning this decision, incredible stuff really.

    The only person with a full view of all the facts is being pillared and his decision making called into question over 2 concerts. :confused:

    Edit, sarcasm, I get sarcasm!

    So because some neighbours don't agree with his desicio, this means he's not doing his job properly? So his job consists of doing what some neighbours want? Wow!

    Oh it's worse than that. He actually taking residents concerns onboard rather than just looking at the money involved. Sure we can't be having that.

    Ireland, as a collective - as a nation. We don't all need to individually apologise to him.

    A collective?

    Like 'The Borg' perhaps?

    Sure why not open up a book of condolences in the Dial and we can all just queue up and sign it for him.

    Your serious! OK! As a nation, what do we owe A C&W singer who's a millionaire and was coming here to make more millions from the same people who say they can't pay their water charges?

    He's not a money grabber, he's just looking to get PAID. More power to him but he's got to abide by the law of the land like the rest of us.

    The cheapest available tickets were €65.50, hardly doing it out of love at those prices either but that's for each person to make their own minds up on.
    he abided by the law, just like the GAA and promotors

    I'm very highly educated. I know words, i have the best words, nobody has better words then me.

    If the five gigs are cancelled are you still gonna come up gunning for the wing mirrors around Croker btw?

    In this post you said that somebody on this thread had said they were going to: "Kick the mirrors off their cars". I then put it to you that nobody had said it and here continued to insist that they had and that they were a "truly classy poster".

    You were clearly (in snide fashion) suggesting that it was I that had made the remark and so I offered you €1000 if you could quote the post where a user had made the remark that either they, or others, should: "Kick the mirrors off their cars".

    Unsurprisingly, you never replied. Yet here you are yet again implying the same crap again. Have you could some kind of comprehension problem or something? I feel you must as I, nor no other user, said such a thing and you're continual suggestions that I did, is complete and utter bollox.

    Here is what I actually did say:

    A warning, large fine and compensation for the residents would have sufficed here. We are a country with a large deficit and it's a fcuking joke that we are allowing residents to dictate how many concerts can be played at Croke Park. No promises should ever have been made to them to begin with, ever. Other that is, than one regarding the regard for their health and safety whenever concerts are taking place.

    Many sport stadiums throughout the world host concerts now, it's just the way it is. Would say the large majority of the people complaining here are just busy bodies with naff all else to do with their time. I hope the decision is appealed and won. Wouldn't please Dublin City Council by applying to play the two nights in the Phoenix Park now either. Malahide Castle / Marley Park are only around 33,000 and so Punchestown would be the only viable solution.

    Oh and if I was one of the residents that owned a car, I would be parking else where when the few concerts that got the go ahead are taking place, as wing mirrors are fecking expensive these days.

    Yet you read the above and posted the following:

    After reading all of that ^^^ and more I couldn't be happier that those gigs were cancelled

    Maybe in future you should limit your use of quotation marks as I am not sure you understand how to use them.

    Not sure he's up to it, dealing with cold blooded terrorists is one thing, but a man who compares concerts with kids is just another level altogether.

    Don't backtrack.
    I did reply btw, but some other eagle eyed poster actually spotted that it was you who threatened the good people of Croke Parks wing mirrors.
    Classy.

    If I was Mr Brooks, I would be talking to my lawyers, about recovering my expected losses from the clowns that organized this event before getting permission, and naming the GAA, and the incompetent clowns in the city council. Then prepare for the launch of his tour in some country that appreciate's his financial contribution to there economy.

    I can hear the conversation. Hi Garth, we know you love us so much that you even let us call you Gareth, but we're sorry we upheld the laws of the state and that you can only have 3, and not 5, concerts.

    What grounds could he possibly have to sue DCC for?

    They applied for 5, 3 were approved. Instead of taking the decision onboard it was ultimatum time and blattering on about "the people of Ireland".

    You're the one who suggested that he should be apologised to. I ask why? It's not as if he is doing Ireland some massive favour by coming over here to take tens of millions back to the states with him is it?
