What I can't understand about this is why Mr Brooks couldn't have just done the concerts that we allowed to do. He is quoted as saying that couldn't choose between them. These are just pop concerts, not open-heart operations. Surely he could just have come back later this summer and done the rest ? Seems rather precious to me.
I think that at least a part of the issue of "why couldn't he have just done the ones he was allowed" is about the break even point of covering his costs. Live shows don't come cheap and need truckloads of equipment. You can't just bung it in a U store facility and pop back in a month or so.
It was pretty silly to not confirm all was okay before announcing the concerts though.

Leanne O’Hagan, 28, from Newry, Co Down, returned two months early from Australia especially for the gigs.
She said if Brooks doesn’t come she’ll leave Ireland and never come back. Leanne said she had lost faith in the country since the debacle started nearly two weeks ago.
She added: “I’ve come home from Australia to Newry. That’s a sacrifice in itself.
No....that's just foolish.

it's more complex than that. The licensing laws allow booking of concerts and selling of tickets with retrospective license applications which is the norm there, it is a process of consultations and reviews over several months and as long as at every stage the criteria is met and amendments made to the staging, security, etc when recommended by the licensing body, there would be no issues. In this case, as there was an unprecedented amount of money being made by the stadium, AKA the GAA, the rivals of the GAA were motivated through envy and greed to try to put the kybosh on it and they fabricated letters of protest which have been identified by the CID as fraudulant.
an unemployed scaffolder from the Croke Park area was given a new suit, 15,000 euros and the overnite ability to fill in a High Court application to stall all 5 shows, he's now pulled out of it saying he was paid to do it by people from the North and South who wanted to scupper the GAA financially. People from anywhere in the World who had planned to go would not realise that there was such scullduggery afoot, noone should feel criticised for following their dream only for it to be potentially destroyed by criminal acts.
dot i see this from both sides as i use to go to a lot of concerts but i also lived near the football ground where they had concerts and it was no fun working a night shift and them testing the speakers each day and this was days before the concert was due to start
plus on the day of the concert we had problems with cars blocking drives and passageways all day , some people would still be hanging around the ground after 12 at night
also at this ground in ireland they have already held more concerts than they are allowed this year

as I said, what they have allowed and what they have agreed to, subject to license, is now not an issue as the objections cause this not simply that 8 concerts in one year was too much, without the [fraudulant] objections this would have gone ahead. though you could also argue that without one direction it could also have gone ahead! lol
> Ring spoke of an agreement between the sides that limited the number of gigs the national GAA stadium could hold.
The most disturbing revelation to emerge from the meeting was the statement by Peter McKenna that a written agreement, signed on behalf of the GAA by Christy Cooney, President and Paraic Duffy, General Secretary between the GAA and the local community in 2009 agreeing to only three concerts per year, was to be ignored because ‘time moves on’. <
