No. However, I would point out that the money in the Supplementary Estimate for the areas the Deputy mentioned is not just for the event in Phoenix Park. It is to do with the events at Knock, Phoenix Park, Croke Park and what took place on the streets in Dublin during the papal visit. With regard to concerts etc., I believe all concert programmes involve ticketing and the costs in respect of ticketing is put onto the people attending. The people literally pay for the event, and the stewarding company.
