"A Beautiful Night" O'Connell Street Gig Cancelled

category national | summit mobilisations | news report author Tuesday March 30, 2004 20:45author by me Report this post to the editors

City council unprepared to close the street for up to 5 days before

O'Connell Street traders have objected to the disruption that would be caused as the street would need to be closed for up to 7 days to erect and then dismantle the stage.
The Phoenix park is obviously out because all the noise might disrupt the dignitaries nin farmleigh. Looks like the "Day of Welcomes" is gonna be off limits to people both from within the current EU and from the accession countries (due to restrictions of the freedom of movement for eastern Europeans)

This decision will possibly have an impact on the level of political protests that will take place on May 1st

If you happen to drive down o'connell street you cannot pull over for some shopping, you have to use one of the carparks. Jervis, Ilac, and that wee one near jervis are not accessible from o'connell street so disruption on o'connell street should not affect them. the only one really affected is arnotts. If the disruption were to leave the footpaths free it should not impact greatly on business, i also doubt the stage will run lengthways down the street so in theory pedestrian access will only be mildly disrupted. Any business owners have been so disrupted by other works on the street that a few days more will not create new problems with which they have not learned to operate. It makes no sense to say it will disrupt business it is far more likely to disrupt traffic in the area. therefore i suspect that business's in the area are not the ones who made this protest. That explanation for cancelling the event in that location is a little bit flimsy, i wonder what the real reason it. Also it would surely serve the authorities to fence off o'connell street for the purposes of a concert, thus depriving any protest of a substantial mustering area. Its all a bit confusing could it simply be that trying to run anything in this country becomes very confusing once all the red tape has been discovered.

Another example of the Lawlor school of planning.
Lets throw a party for all the new nations coming in. Lets invite all of Europe months in advance.
Then one month before, after all the advertising has been on the screens for weeks, decide to see what the arrangements are.
Then on finding out, cancel the gig and blame it on the BBC.
Fucking muppets!

I've never heard of a concert on O Connell Street, what about College Green with screens up and down Dame Street. I reckon they just don't want big crowds about. Wonder why that would be???

author by no2bush&eupublication date Wed Mar 31, 2004 16:39author address author phone Report this post to the editors

I hear the real reson for the cancelling of the 'party' was that the govt feared huge numbers of demonstrators attending it and ruining the image of Ireland being a nice pro EU, pro Bush country.
