"jb plans class action lawsuit"


Residents seek legal advice on stage work for U2 gig

July 17, 2009

Angry residents plan to seek legal advice over extensive late-night works for the upcoming U2 concerts at Croke Park.

The stadium's director has already pledged to take a fresh look at the staging of major complex events following a heated meeting with several hundred people from the north Dublin community.

Pat Gates, chair of the Croke Park Residents Alliance, said "actions speak louder than words" with residents hearing repeated promises of changes over the past decade.

Mr. Gates said both Dublin City Council and Croke Park had "shown contempt for local residents" with the late-night works planned for the upcoming concerts.

Dublin City Council has permitted late-night works in the run-up to the concerts on Friday, July 24, Saturday, July 25, and Monday, July 27.

In addition, 44-hour works from midnight on Monday, July 27 until 8pm on Wednesday, July 29, have been granted to dismantle U2's famous "Claw" stage. However, the council pointed out the use of stadium floodlighting after 11pm was restricted in the interests of residents, and the number of hours for dismantling the stage were restricted from the 72-hours sought to 44. A spokeswoman said the council took the concerns expressed by local residents "very seriously."

Disquiet

Peter McKenna, Croke Park director, acknowledged there had been a lot of "disquiet" particularly in relation to the overnight works. He said issues such as this would be "considered carefully" in the future.

He said he recognised in hindsight the two nights of work were "too big an imposition" on residents. However, he stressed the venue has investment substantially in community projects out of the big events.

Mr. Gates said issues such as traffic management, altering the behaviour of Croke Park visitors, anti-social work hours needed to be revisited. "We want to be part of the experience of Croke Park and a welcoming community," he added.

Residents will be meeting next week to discuss a number of options, including seeking advice from a solicitor with planning expertise, over the works associated with events at the stadium.

At the previous meeting a number of residents had suggested blocking the trucks coming to and going from the venue, he added.

"We feel there are huge issues around the rights of local people, working around the clock is unprecedented," Mr. Gates said.

July 21, 2009: This Irish Independent article seems to dash any plans for releasing Songs of Ascent album in 2009:

"While a spring release date had been mentioned, Bono seems to damping down that expectation now, saying that while they have nine pieces of music that they think are really special, the album will only come out if and when it is as good or better than No Line. And it certainly won't come out, as was reported in some media, this year. Bono is unashamedly clear that he wants No Line on the Horizon to be the U2 product that gets bought this Christmas."

I blame the guy who hangs around the Atlanta convenient stores with his U2 shirt on

It is very funny when one of the band members decides to go for a run around the B stage during a song. No one spot can get coverage all the way around. I almost have to hand the band member around four different spots, all through a translator. It starts with an access bridge trucking around; this put me on alert, and they are off. Willie can see this is happening, and out of the corner of his eye is checking that I have also. Edge is running, I'm still calling, then it needs to be translated; I have found that spinning around and staring at my translator makes the poor guy call it at triple speed. There is talk of Edge riding a bike around the B stage, so hold onto your hats.
