What would the witnesses do differently if they were setting up these concerts next year? How should the process change? The licensing system must be examined but what would the witnesses do as a promoter and as representatives of the GAA?

I was not aware of what is run for the local residents. Are cúl camps free for the children? The Christmas party was mentioned and I know it is funded. Are tickets for matches free? What sort of matches are involved? Are tickets for finals free?

Garth Brooks was originally to perform in two concerts. Can Mr. Aiken explain why he was later unwilling to perform fewer than five? He may wish to answer this question later in the meeting if the witnesses wish to deal with the questions in order.
