Police fail to identify the 'bogus' Garth Brooks objectors

[barryqwalsh]

The objection letters - purporting to be from local residents - were sent to Dublin City Council ahead of its decision to license three of the proposed five concerts in Croke Park. Brooks, who insisted on doing five shows, eventually pulled out of all of them.

However, at the height of the frenzied negotiations to keep the Brooks shows on the road, it emerged that some of the objection letters were bogus. The city council only realised that fact when it sent out acknowledgement letters to residents. Eleven residents came forward to say that they had not objected to the concerts and that their names and addresses had been used without their knowledge or permission.
