The witness has spoken about the profile of the concerts. Is any consideration given to the artist concerned? We are not talking about Metallica and the event would not be a massive rave.
Anyone who looked at the profile of the people who purchased tickets could fairly assume that it was not going to be a drunken bash in Croke Park for five nights. Issues that have arisen in respect of other events in the Phoenix Park in the past created great concerns and, I imagine, posed challenges for the city council in managing such events again. The city council deputation is saying that the profile of the event would detail or take into consideration the artist, the type of followers, the fans and all that. Is that what we mean when we are discussing profile?
