Residents seek prosecutions over Garth Brooks gigs

A group of residents from the Croke Park area are to ask gardaí to prosecute both the GAA and Aiken Promotions over next month’s staging of five Garth Brooks concerts in a row.

Furious residents had agreed to only three concerts being promoted in the stadium this year, and they claim the three One Direction concerts last month have now used up the quota.

The residents plan to hand in letters to Noirín O’Sullivan, the interim Garda commissioner, that seek criminal proceedings because the Brooks gigs are being promoted before a licence has been obtained for them.
