Hoteliers Offer Garth Brooks Objectors Free Rooms
A group of hoteliers have offered 300 residents of Croke Park free hotel rooms for the five nights of the Garth Brooks shows, if they withdraw their objections to the currently cancelled shows.
Fine Gael Senator for Wexford, Michael D'Arcy, has said that he has been in contact with a the hoteliers, and says that they are "keen to help", with the offer of free rooms being "targeted at those residents who made submissions to Dublin City Council."
"I have been in touch with hoteliers in the South East, who are keen to help bring about a solution for the 400,000 people who have been left very disappointed as a result of the cancellation of the Garth Brooks concerts.
"The hoteliers have offered to make accommodation available for 300 people free of charge for the five scheduled nights of the concerts, if the residents withdraw their objections. This would allow residents to escape the inconvenience of the restrictions which would be imposed for the duration of the concerts.
"The rooms would be targeted at those residents who made submissions to Dublin City Council.
"The group of hoteliers is being led by representatives from the Woodford Dolmen in Carlow. Their proposal will not solve all of the problems surrounding the Garth Brooks concerts, but it could help to bring about a solution.
"I hope the residents take this offer seriously and consider accepting it so one of the roadblocks for these concerts could be removed."
