Joint Oireachtas Committee on Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation

General Scheme of the Sale of Tickets (Sporting and Cultural Events) Bill 2017: Discussion

4:00 pm

Mr. Kieran Grace:

There has never been a non-acknowledgement. We have never said there is not a problem. We said the problem may not be as widespread as people think and it may only be in certain areas. If action is taken, those areas should be targeted. I am sorry if the impression was given that we do not acknowledge that there is a problem. I refer to the public consultation document, the questions we asked, the way we have gone after and interrogated stakeholders afterwards and the way we have made those documents available. We are not denying there is a problem. Far from it, but the extent of the problem and the reportage on it in the public domain could deflect from what we are trying to focus on, which is how to tackle those issues.
