I feel sorry for the genuine fans who will miss out on his gigs .

But at the end the day he said 5 or none , that's a horrible attitude to take when he has 3 shows granted . Why not use next summers 3 licenses and have him do 3 gigs next summer . That's a total of 6 and no is disappointed .

A Dog, to whom the butcher had thrown a bone, was hurrying home with his prize as fast as he could go. As he crossed a narrow footbridge, he happened to look down and saw himself reflected in the quiet water as if in a mirror.

But the greedy Dog thought he saw a real Dog carrying a bone much bigger than his own.

If he had stopped to think he would have known better.

But instead of thinking, he dropped his bone and sprang at the Dog in the river, only to find himself swimming for dear life to reach the shore.

At last he managed to scramble out, and as he stood sadly thinking about the good bone he had lost, he realized what a stupid Dog he had been.

If you want proper confirmation you can call up their press-office and ask for it.

Are you doubting what is being reported btw? And if so, why?

LOL, you'll say this is the first you heard of it no doubt, but if you have a claim of something "somebody might have said it somewhere" isn't evidence of squat. You and the indo have the burden of proof here.
So. Again. Anything better than "a source said something might have happened"?

There is no excuse good enough as to why Ireland let such an event slip through it's hands.

Now its all starting to come out in the wash

Owen Keegan says he only found out that the head of planning has property at Croke park

Jim Keogan, Executive Manager of Planning and Economic Development also admitted that he owns a property “in the shadow” of Croke Park that his son currently lives in and he was acutely aware of the concerns of residents.

Of course there is, Brooks fans like yourself just don't want to acknowledge them though.

Nothing is coming out in the wash...a question was asked and honestly answered.

What in the actual fook seems off the charts bizarre, from the article:

Dublin City Council had yesterday offered to be a “co-promoter” for two rescheduled Garth Brooks concerts, but the offer was turned down, council chief executive Owen Keegan has told an Oireachtas committee.

I don't need to infer or spit anything out. The facts have started speaking for themselves and painting a lovely picture

The fact is that there would have been concerts in Ireland this year only for Brooks. The whole thing was a mess but it would have been a lot better for the majority to have seen him play than none at all, which is what has happened. His excuses about wanting all his fans to see don't fly I'm afraid. It would have been unfortunate but he made a bad situation multiple times worse by not playing.

well I didn't have a ticket, I like some of his stuff and I think(by looking at a couple of videos)that he puts on an amazing show. Now if that makes me a fan among his millions of followers, then so be it... :cool:

Just in case you missed it in the other thread

Google Ethics and Standards in Public Office and the especially term REGISTRABLE INTERESTS and then Google conflict of interests

So to correct you there is something very much wrong if the City Manager wasn't made aware of registrable interests. There's actually Irish law on this subject and that law has been dictated to Ireland by an EU Directive on same in relation to people in the employ of the Government and Public Service :D

And please don't try and argue this point

Look up what you are quoting...the only 'Interest' he would have to register is if he was a member of a residents committee or if he had lodged an objection.

do you have a link to this?

Mrs Garth Brooks

For anyone who thinks Garth Brooks can just get back up and come on over and play two or three more gigs, well he may be booked out.

His first concert is in Chicago, tickets are on sale on Friday 25 july and he plays 4th of Sept. Thats the start.

It is just another scurrilious attempt to defame those that deprived them of a gig.
Planning officials all over the country live in areas that they sometimes have to adjudicate on.
Ridiculous slander that a man who has previously gone against residents was influneced unduly in making a decision (which once again went against residents wishes)

Oh so the laws regarding this are sacrosanct but the laws surrounding the licensing of concerts can be bent, broken, pushed aside to satisfy an over inflated ego :rolleyes:

Finally getting around to "Unfollowing" this thread. Been a crazy/fun/dissapointing 400 pages, I'm ready to move on.

And a committee packed with GAA men can't be biased but a professional with a proven track record can.
Disgusting behaviour and very low.

Losty Dublin

He was asked about this house. His son and his wife now live in said house, which was his family home. He lives in Skerries and went on the record as saying that his son and wife didn't lodge an objection. This took all of 20 seconds to clarify and little more was made of it.

Hardly a earth shattering revelation in the scheme of things.

Well they would be prudent to not lodge one if they did given their links to the him, but also they wouldn't need to given they have his ear in any case.

The fact is that there would have a five in a row comeback special here in Ireland this year only for scurrilous and nefarious goings on regarding resident complaints and court injunctions.

Like I said in the other thread this is something your picking the wrong argument on as it's what I DO for the last number of years. Basically, the terms ‘registerable interest' and 'relative' are interpreted as per Section 2 of the Ethics in Public Office Act, 1995 (which is the implement used to transcribe the EU Directives into Irish law)

See below for relevant parts, I await your reasoning as to how this is wrong now :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Section 2, Ethics in Public Office Act, 1995 wrote:

Definitions
“relative”, in relation to a person, means a brother, sister, parent or spouse of the person or a child of the person or of the spouse;

"registrable interest” shall be construed in accordance with the Second Schedule ;

Section 2, 4 - any interest in land of the person concerned, being an interest the value of which exceeded £10,000 at any time during the appropriate period aforesaid,

I guess thats the problem with people thinking they know it all , when they clearly dont

No, but the problem is under EU Planning Directives there has also been a failure of such to warrant investigation by the EU Commission, therefore the process is defunct, as per the Directives the following has not been followed

Sections 147 - 150 , 189, 230 and in particular 190

He described as "disturbing" the significant number of bogus objections to the Garth Brooks concerts.

However, he said that the council contacted the gardaí when they became concerned and there is now a garda investigation under way.
