I thank Ms O'Sullivan for the openness she has shown on the issue of the Garth Brooks concerts. I also appreciate the human problem these concerts create for those who live in the area, and I understand their concerns. This is a legislative problem. We need to find a mechanism that allows a fresh application to be made. In addition, we need stand-alone legislation for concerts, including a right of appeal for promoters and residents. The system must be seen to work for the betterment of everyone. I hope the engagement that is taking place will yield a benefit and allow the concerts to proceed with the blessing of residents of the area.
