Obviously, there is a number of persons involved. The views of the residents around Croke Park are significant and their concerns must be taken on board. When it came to the licensing process over the past number of months, was the Garda satisfied with what was being proposed? Was there interaction with Dublin City Council regarding that there may be difficulty over a concert being held over five rather than three days? Bringing it down to the practicalities, in simple terms someone looking in would say that this is a huge event, both for Dublin and Ireland. There would be bus operators bringing fans from the length and breadth of the country to the concerts. There are people living around Croke Park as well and it would be a considerable imposition on their daily lives. Was what was being proposed sustainable, both in terms of the logistics of managing such an event over a five day period and the impact it would have on the immediate area, in particular, on the residents? What were the Garda's observations on that at the time?
