Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications
Concert Licensing: Dublin City Council
12:10 pm
Mr. Jim Keogan:
On the issue of the discussions, formal or informal, that took place before the sale of the tickets, hindsight is a wonderful thing. If there is anything to be taken out of the legislation, we would all welcome if it were made mandatory for the promoters to hold formal consultation meetings with the licensing authorities before tickets go on sale. That would have resolved many of the issues. We were not asked for an opinion. We were notified, as a statement of fact, of the intent to launch the concerts and sell the tickets.
