Many of my questions have been answered. Regarding the conversation with Mr. Keegan, it has turned into a case of "he said, she said". I could not believe the amount of interest in the concert and the unprecedented amount of attention it has received. I cannot believe the number of e-mails I have received and people who have come to me, as a legislator, asking me to intervene. As Deputy Dooley said, it is down to a few people. Yesterday I raised the issue of how Marlay Park has been able to have so many concerts, some of which I recently attended, which cause major disruption. The response was that the residents get along with the council and there is no issue with the promoters. This is the main issue that needs to be dealt with. The report has been published and it is to be hoped we can do something to establish some sort of appeals process. The fact that concert tickets can be sold without a licence having been issued is a serious issue we, as legislators, must address. I thank the witnesses for their presentation.
