City chief to face fresh grilling over Brooks saga

The Dublin City manager will return to face questions from the Oireachtas Transport Committee today, as the Garth Brooks fallout rumbles on.

Dublin City CEO Owen Keegan was formally asked on Wednesday to come before the committee, having already addressed it on Tuesday in relation to the Croke Park concerts debacle.

The fresh request was triggered by the startling claim made before the committee on Wednesday by Croke Park stadium director Peter McKenna that he was assured in a phone call with Mr Keegan in early February that the five concerts were likely to go ahead. However, a statement issued by Dublin City Council on Wednesday denied this.
