Neither do I. Was just quoting a previous post.

As soon it is announced that any of the concerts will proceed, someone will run to the High Court looking for an injunction.
And they will most probably get it. Aiken knows this. You have to ask why are they stalling for time with the refunds.

The interest on 400000 times the ticket price is pretty significant I would wager.....that or GB is suing the balls off them for lost revenue/expenses.....

Saw this on Facebook. Not sure how legit it is.

Let me guess.... So reliable they can't be named! :rolleyes: you must be working for the hotel!

No, but from someone who would know in advance. That said I was only told the 5 are on - that could be at a different time of year or two in a day I suppose. I just wanted to get in first if they're right!
That said I don't agree with the political pressure applied and I am curious, if an announcement is made what reasons are given for overturning the decision

They're reporting based on what the charleville lodge hotel have posted. These are the only two pages that seem to be saying it.... And Sala of course :rolleyes:

Don't get me wrong, I hope it's true but I seriously doubt it!

Now this is interesting, one Dublin hotel posts that all 5 concerts are on, and it is being shared and spreading like wildfire. I've never been in on the start of a FB rumour before, to see how quickly these things happen. I wonder how far it will get?

her.ie are reporting it based on that one hotel also! lol

It's surely interesting anyway. I'm thinking of ringing a few Dublin hotels with an American accent and an anonymous tip that they're back on and to prepare accordingly

Am I the only person who wondered why a hotel in Charleville put up this news (and then realised that the hotel is in fact in Dublin.....)

Any chance you could quote where I said there was legislation for any of that? What a strange request.

Eh, newsflash for you happyman42: it is my opinion that the council should not drag their feet on making a decision which 400,000 people are due to attend, many of whom have booked hotels / flights etc. It is my opinion that the council should not be leaving it until three weeks before concerts are due to take place, to let 160,000 of it's ticket holders know that the particular concerts which their tickets are for, have been refused licences. I mean, you do understand that someone giving their opinion doesn't imply legislation, don't you. Perhaps not.

Do keep a grip here please.
You insisted on damming DCC because they didn't do this, and when it was pointed out to you why it should never be a factor you kept wittering on about it.
It's pretty much the same as saying...go ahead and build, they will automatically give yiou retention, you can't lose.

Now, when you are finished admonishing other people for the temerity to get things wrong (even when they accept that they are not expert in legislation) here and on other threads, could you address this question that you managed to bypass twice:

BTW, how could Keegan have reached a decision by 22nd May? Are you sure you are in possession of all the facts here?

You are entirely correct, Wishiwasa Littlebitaller is talking up a head of steam here without knowing what they are talking about.

Aiken was in mitigation after he submitted his application. 3 draft Event Management Plans where submitted;
17th April,
26th June
29th June
which had to be reviewed and assessed by the relevant people.

How DCC where expected to make a decision on 22nd May I have no idea, we'll let he/she who KNOWS how they should do their job, comment on that.

If you go onto their site there are plenty of rooms available for that weekend too, so much for every room in Dublin booked out as others have said....
