Mr. Páraic Duffy:

The repeated mantra we have heard is that residents were opposed to the concerts but there is no single, coherent residents group. We regard 27,000 houses as being in the environs of Croke Park as that constitutes a radius of 1.5 km. There is no single group with which we can deal and a small group, consisting of some people from the area and some from outside, was very opposed to these concerts. That group was the only voice that was heard. We were concerned by the fact that in recent weeks other residents emerged who wanted the concerts to proceed.

The thing we would do differently in future and the biggest challenge is to engage with a coherent residents' group on an ongoing basis.
