Mr. John O'Connell:

We were told that to continue operating in that night time space, we needed to have a public dance licence. Having such a licence would have increased our insurance costs from €20,000 a year up to €60,000 a year. We would need to turn over €1 million to €1.5 million a year to afford the insurance premium that would cover that. We were told by members of the Garda, after they the visited one night, that if we wanted to continue doing these nights, we needed to have a public dance licence to do so. That is where we find ourselves now.
