Mr. Owen Keegan:

It is very clear to me that there is a huge difference between four and five concerts. Had we licensed four concerts, we could have told the residents that their concerns had been heeded to some extent, but had we licensed five concerts, the residents would have believed that we had completely ignored their legitimate concerns, and that would be indefensible. We could have defended four concerts, albeit with difficulty, on the basis that it was less than a complete capitulation to the applicant.
