Following the Garth Brooks concert Croke Park debacle, last year is likely to be a year Aiken Promotions would want to quickly forget.

This year may be one that Aiken Promotions will want to forget about quickly, what with the Garth Brooks concerts debacle, but new figures show its UK arm recorded profits of over €230,000 last year.

Performers Paul Simon and Olly Murs contributed to Dublin-based promoters, Aiken Promotions maintaining profitability last year.

The President of the High Court, Mr Justice Joseph Finnegan, has said the Office of Public Works should disclose to MCD Promotions the original bid by Aiken Promotions Ltd for the Rolling Stones gig in Phoenix Park, which was cancelled last month.
