Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport and Communications

Concert Licensing: Dublin City Council

12:10 pm

Mr. Jim Keogan:

The report the mediator prepared is a separate process. We are dealing with a statutory process which is laid down in law regarding what we can and cannot take into consideration. I understand a parallel process was put in place by the venue managers and the residents groupings to determine whether there could be resolution in the future regarding the ongoing controversies regarding the holding of events generally in Croke Park. The terms of reference of the process did not specify that it was to deal with the five concerts that were the subject of the licence application per se, but to determine how best to move forward.
