Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications
Concert Licensing: Dublin City Council
12:10 pm
Mr. Jim Keogan:
The licence was granted subject to conditions and the provisions of the legislation strictly outline the type of conditions we can impose. We are looking at the decision to grant permission for three, rather than five, concerts. That was in relation to two areas in particular under the provisions of the Act, for which we must have regard, namely, disruption to the neighbourhood and the number of events in any one year at the venue. The decision was made on this basis and the reasons have been proffered.
We dealt with the submissions properly. We were notified by way of a response from an individual who was concerned about the fact that they had not made a submission. Subsequently, over a number of days, 12 people identified themselves. We immediately alerted the Garda, on 12 June, and that matter was with the Garda for its attention.
