even more more uncertain now since the interview and change if ticket date on the site but Ronnie seems very excited about the Dublin gig
You never hear about licences been granted/refused in the media unless it's a huge deal

On Thur, 8-Mar-2018 the City Council has a meeting according to Dublin Councillor Niall Ring:
"We have a Dublin City Council meeting every month, which takes three and a quarter hours, we get a 360 page fact of items we have to go through to discuss items. [...] Tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock I have to go to committee meetings, I have to get across town from Ballybough to City Hall, I'll have to leave at around 7 o'clock to make sure I'm on time for that meeting, that could go on until 11 and that's a half day gone. I'm on a commemoration committee, naming committee and fire brigade meetings, then in your own local area - which takes up most of your time - you've got residents association meetings.
For example in Croke Park we had meetings over whether we'll have The Rolling Stones, in our area we have the gang feuds going on so you have taskforces going on that involve a huge number of meetings, the Magdalene Launderies situation."

Is it really a negotiable issue? I read somewhere that the residents don't even have the right to appeal.
City Council has the legal standing to reject or approve the application, that's it. What is there to negotiate about?

I know all that, but it's not the resident's decision is it? It's not a contract, it's a license.

According to Wikipedia there has been 4 concerts at Croke Park in 2009, which is more than 3...
Unless there is a dress rehearsal the day/evening before the show I don't really understand all the fuss about one more date.
It can indeed be a mess in the neighborhood on showday or even the day before, but not 10 days prior to the show...

looking at TM there
the residents could go and see Titanic the musical at the BG Theatre or Derren Brown in the Gaiety, Narcos Capturing Pablo in the Olympia or Andy Summers of the police in Vicar Strret on the 17th May when the stones are playing. Go out for a walk on the beach, go for a meal, cinema etc or sit in there living rooms with there arms foled with a disgusted look on there faces lol

Easy on the critism of residents. I have relatives living in the shadow of Croke Park and you are effectively locked whenever an event is held in Croke Park. Many people in the area have no objection to The Stones gig. It was a very different scenario having to listen to some cowboy playing five nights in a row in your back garden. Not to mention having to deal with the pink hat brigade, especially after the show.
The final decision rests with DCC. My own view is that the gig will go ahead.

Not overly familiar with Brooks but I know his gigs are mega popular. He often does 2 shows a day. And I read the other day he makes a point of keeping his tickets as affordable as possible and making every ticket the same price regardless of what section you are in.
