I am sorry for interrupting but this is critical to the confusion and the conflict as I understand it. Given all that Mr. Keogan said, which I accept in terms of the balanced and reasonable approach taken, was it not a serious mistake to offer the matinées because that would have contributed to a much more serious intensification and demand on the neighbourhood and traffic management systems around Croke Park, given that people would be coming from all parts of the country and be funnelled into the city, and there would be a crowd leaving at one time and another crowd coming in? I am no expert in logistical exercises but that seems totally illogical and I would welcome an explanation.
