    Ticketmaster would be in direct and constant contact with Aiken and if they are delaying refunds, it's for a very good reason.

    This is the surest sign so far that at least three of the concerts will take place.

    The fans may just get their gigs yet.

    This calls for an encore :P

    Not at all. I think DCC comes out of it looking very good. They've gone up in my estimation a lot anyway.

    Yeah.. fair play to them for completely ignoring their agreement with residents and granting a licence for 3 concerts to begin with.

    Gold stars for one and all.

    The DCC had no agreement with residents. :confused: The GAA/CP did.

    But anyway, whatever. You don't think DCC did a good job, I do. Sin é.

    DCC never had an agreement with the residents.

    The encore will surely be an injuction.

    I feel for his fans, I really do. He might backslide now and agree to hold the 3 gigs only to have a nice juicy injuction lodged scuttling any gigs.

    What will he so with his 241 million sq feet HD screens and 4mile stage then?

    So they were right to grant a licence for the 3 nights, despite knowing that residents had made an agreement with CP, and despite being aware of the number of complaints / objections to any further gigs taking place this year?

    What if they had granted all 5, or perhaps 4... would allowing 2 have been an incorrect decision?

    The same residents would be objecting, and they'd be entitled to under the agreement they had.

    DCC stumbled into making a 'correct' decision. Realistically it would not have made a whole lot of difference if they allowed all gigs or just one gig to take place. The same people would be complaining and the same reasons for objecting would be extolled.

    Its a one off stage. He could leave it with us and let us blast our garth brooks cd's for the night from the speakers. It'll be some craic.

    Mr Keegan consulted his lawyers and was told he didn't need to take the agreement between CP and the residents.

    Now have you a source for this agreement between DCC and the residents or not?

    Only if you set it up in your own garden. Best of luck with AGS trying to pull a stunt like that.

    No, I was mistaken on that point. My sincerest apologies.

    By all means ignore everything else I said though.

    DCC are truly gods.. they have somehow managed to appease everyone while at the same time ignoring everyone. What a golden age to be alive.

    No worries.

    As for the rest of your post, I actually think it was a fair compromise. The fri, sat & sun gigs get the nod but mon & tues non-runners due to unrealistic impositions placed on residents.

    This is it. DCC actually struck a fair balance, IMO. I dunno, it's like some people are so blinkered in their dislike for the civil service in this country that they can't bring themselves to see that they sometimes get things right.

    Not at all. All I've done is silence lies and untruths. The nobleman that I am.

    You know the ones:

    Aiken left it to the "last second" to apply for the licences.
    The resident complaints were all legitimate.
    Keegan stuck to his guns. He did his job well.
    Garth Brooks steals money off the sick and dying.
    The DCC can't make a decision on licence applications "by law" for ten weeks.


    And other such nonsense...
