Pitch perfect U2 back on home ‘Irish’ turf

WHILE all the matches were going on around the playing fields of Ireland at the weekend there was a different kind of playing taking place in Croke Park.

There, Dublin’s own U2 were playing their music to adoring fans. Naturally, being Dubs, playing in Croker was extra special.

It was also special for the coffers of the GAA and, perhaps, more importantly the wider economy. The gigs in Croke Park generated well in excess of €50m for business in Dublin.
