Venue’s future in doubt after Streisand gig fiasco

THE future of Co Kildare’s Castletown House as a venue for large-scale concerts could be decided by an inquiry into the chaos surrounding Barbra Streisand’s gig at the weekend.

Fans who paid up to €552 to watch the US singer of hits like The Way We Were were left fuming over traffic delays, car parking, seating arrangements and the stewards.

They have bombarded newspapers, website forums as well as radio shows like RTÉ’s Liveline with their grievances over Saturday’s concert, which was organised by Dún Laoghaire’s MCD Promotions.
