    On the front of the independent there's a story abt how Galway city council want to bring a prosperous proposal to Aiken promotions to bring the boss to play a 3rd concert out in a the airport. (Might be a bit far out from the city out for some boardies) They've missed the deadline for planning permission (takes 13 weeks) and also the airport doesn't have the necessary license to hold a large amount of people but the attitude of Galway City Councillors is feck it we'll try anyways. Are they blinded by there on stupidity or euro signs?€€€

    I'm actually impressed that someone has suggested this- okay, it's probably pie in the sky stuff but it's good to see someone with ambition and big dreams. (I did think it was April 1st when I first heard it though!)

    The real problems around the city is what they should their prioritise, stuff they were elected to do. Once again GCC show their only interest in how best to line their pockets and agendas

    And will a concert, by Bruce Springsteen no less, not generate significant amounts of revenue for businesses around the area?

    Even though it would break every planning and licensing laws in the country were these clowns really thinking that Bruce would rock out Croke park Friday nite before packing up all his stuff up to play a concert in a abandoned airport out whest before trekking back to the capital for another show. With all the problems this city has its disappointing to hear the our elected officials spend allocated time on Monday discussing 'fantasy land ideas' when they could have used that time productively for some good

    No doubt they all got concert tickets

    To be fair it was absolutely fantasy land stuff - it was never going to happen.
