Dáil in Distress: Brooks N Euros

Dáil committee to discuss Brooks concerts next week: "Dublin Correspondent
Dublin City Council chief executive Owen Keegan has agreed to appear before an Oireachtas transport and communications committee next Tuesday to discuss the Garth Brooks Croke Park concerts.
However, Mr Keegan has raised concerns about potential links between committee members and the GAA.
The American country singer had planned to play five concerts at Croke Park from Friday, July 25th to Tuesday, July 29th – 400,000 tickets were sold for the events last January and February. Aiken Promotions applied for licences for the five nights in April. However, Dublin City Council last week issued licences for the first three concerts only.
Brooks said he would perform five concerts or none at all, and, last Thursday, he rejected a proposal to hold two of the concerts as matinees."
