Croke Park concert investigation

Summary

Senator Conway praises the transport committee’s examination of the Croke Park concert controversy and the evidence given by the GAA and Aiken Promotions.

I thank all Members for speaking on the Fine Gael Private Members' motion yesterday. In areas where it is appropriate and right the Seanad always comes together which sometimes makes it unpopular with the other House. Thankfully, we have the capability and ability to do so.

I commend the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Transport and Communications on trying to get to the bottom of the Croke Park fiasco. I watched the evidence given by representatives of the GAA and Aiken Promotions. It has become clear what happened and why the country has found itself in this position. Let us wait and see what happens but I hope the people who were responsible for it take the appropriate action.

Like other Members, I wish everyone a most enjoyable summer period. As I said last year, everyone is welcome to come to County Clare. It is one of the most beautiful counties in Ireland and there is lots to do in the county over the next number of weeks. In conclusion, I thank the Cathaoirleach and all his colleagues for their assistance in the past term.
