Government intervenes in bid to salvage Brooks gigs

News of the intervention came a few hours after the American country music star opened the way for his Croke Park concert run to be resurrected, saying his tour crew were still en route to Ireland and “if there is any chance that the five planned concerts can be salvaged and nobody is being let down, then we can proceed as planned until the refunds begin”.
Taoiseach Enda Kenny is believed to have asked Kieran Mulvey of the Labour Relations Commission to get Dublin City Council chief executive Owen Keegan and Lord Mayor Christy Burke round the table to see if a solution can be reached.
