Sir, – I have no gripe with Garth Brooks, his music or his fans. I knew Croke Park was there when I purchased a property in 2007 and attend GAA games at Croke Park with great regularity. I am, nonetheless, somewhat disturbed at the potential disruption foisted upon the residents this coming July.
I enjoy Championship Sundays and having to negotiate the traffic on those days is a small price to pay for the enjoyment garnered from such occasions. However, to impose this extravaganza on residents for five consecutive days, including three weekday working days (and more for many) leaves a significant responsibility with the GAA to ensure maximum co-operation, communication, and assistance with and for residents.
The association will make a lot of money this July. Will it step up to the plate? – Yours, etc,
