Gardaí to meet promoters after anarchy in park

Senior gardaí are to meet with concert promoters MCD after violence marred a weekend concert in Phoenix Park, leaving one person dead and nine treated for stab wounds.

Justice Minister Alan Shatter has asked the Garda Commissioner to review events surrounding the concert amid reports of antisocial behaviour, casual violence, and sex acts being performed in the open. He confirmed the commissioner would meet with the promoters and forward a report to his department.

Mr Shatter also said new regulations regarding the licensing of security at large events would be introduced soon.
