The Bloom Garden event and the proposed Papal Mass are Government- supported events and thus a facility fee is not charged in either case.

With regard to the “Ed Sheeran” concerts, the fees charged are commercially sensitive but are in line with fees charged at other similar venues. As is normal practice for such events, OPW has sought a substantial bond from the event promoter to fund any reinstatement works which may be necessary following these concerts.
