Garth Brooks gigs fiasco cost GAA €5m

Croke Park chief Peter McKenna said the Garth Brooks concert cancellations amounted to a "complete fiasco" that cost the GAA €5m.

Mr McKenna described the saga as hugely regretful and outlined the financial hit that the GAA has taken.

“It’s lost revenue rather than cost, it would have been in the order of €5m,” he revealed as he launched a passionate defence of Croke Park’s reputation generally.
