Mr. Peter Aiken:

It was a very good meeting at which we got on very well. I did not come away from the meeting thinking we had a problem. I have been around a long time and I have been in a few situations, but I did not come away from the meeting thinking we had a problem. If I had thought at any stage that we had a problem I would have flagged it to Garth Brooks. I never saw this coming. I thought the problem I would have would be the injunction from the guy running around doing all the interviews. When I met my lawyers we prepared a legal document to fight that. I never saw this coming from Dublin City Council. I have never been refused a licence. I think the licensing system does work. I never saw this coming. It was unprecedented to sell this number of tickets. I never saw it coming and I do not think it will ever happen again in my lifetime.
