There are two elements with regard to Croke Park. There is a legal element and there is also the understanding with the residents around Croke Park. The legal issue is that Croke Park can run three special events in a year without a licence. It must apply for a licence for any more than three. This has happened previously. I accept that because of the timescales involved the promoters must sell tickets before the due process is completed.
