Council licensing officials to meet promoters about Streisand concert

SENIOR local government officials who gave the go-ahead to last week’s Barbra Streisand concert are to meet the promoters for talks about the chaos surrounding the event.

Traffic delays, parking problems, the stewards and seating arrangements triggered hundreds of complaints from angry concert-goers who paid up to €552 a ticket for the event a week ago.

Next week Kildare County Council licensing officials are to meet promoters, MCD, to discuss what went wrong at the Celbridge concert, which drew 17,000 fans.
