That may just have been the straw that broke the camel's back. I wouldn't be surprised at all if there is an announcement within a week ot so that Brooks will play the Aviva stadium in August at some point instead. It would have been a logistical nightmare to move the gigs, transfer tickets etc but to actually just start from scratch and holds some concerts in Aviva wouldn't be. Perhaps not but it's a lot to ask of someone to come and play concerts when the residents around the stadium and going through the courts in an attempt to prevent them taking place. Especially so just mere weeks before you are due to take to the stage.

City Manager made the right call, and Brooks has been shown up for the greedy egomaniac that he is.

They wanted to hold *illegal* concerts to make themselves loads and loads of money. That's it. Good for the residents. I wouldn't want that disrutption 24/7 for two weeks, which is what it would have been. Promoter totally at fault here.

CapricornOne wrote: » It also takes less than five minutes to realise that according to the agreement upon the redevelopment of the stadium, NO MORE THAN 3 NON-SPORTING EVENTS PER YEAR ARE PERMITTED. That limit was reached with the One Direction concerts earlier this year. Croke Park should never have been eligible for one Garth Brooke concert, never mind five.
