Lighting issues will not impact on Ed Sheeran shows in Cork, promoter promises

The promoter behind Ed Sheeran’s forthcoming shows in Páirc Uí Chaoimh has given his assurance that lighting issues outside the stadium will not affect the concerts this summer.

Peter Aiken was commenting less than a week after GAA supporters left the Leeside venue in darkness due to a lack of public lighting along the routes towards the stadium.

The Cork County Board and the City Council are at odds as to how much the former should pay in a special contribution for upgrades to public lighting on Monahan Rd, Centre Park Rd, and the Old Railway Line.
