Joint Committee on Tourism, Culture, Arts, Sport And Media

Importance of Airplay in Promoting Irish Music: Music and Entertainment Association of Ireland

Ms Rebecca Cappuccini:

Correct. The issues were affecting gig goers, whereby people were scared to go out after dark after a certain hour. They were also affecting buskers who have licences to perform outside and affecting people going into venues with their own very expensive equipment. The worries were about equipment being stolen, about hi-jinks, either before or after a gig, making gig goers nervous and about buskers not wanting to perform because they are scared after a certain time.
