"Cllr Joe Behan expressed frustration at the lack of communication, the premature promotion of the event, and the absence of legally required licences, stating that residents had raised concerns before he was informed."
"District manager Jackie Carroll confirmed her unawareness of the event until the advertising surfaced, and noted that Bray Wanderers management acknowledged the need for landlord consent from the council, which had not been sought."
"Ms Carroll described the club's representatives as 'very apologetic' and stated that the promoters had moved ahead prematurely, leading to the council's instruction to cease all advertising and promotional activity."
"The promotor is not allowed to advertise any further until all the issues are ironed out, with officials meeting the promoters to outline the full range of requirements that must be met."
Wicklow County Council has ordered the promoters of the 'Under The Giant Festival' to cease all advertising due to premature promotion and absence of necessary licenses. The controversy arose when promotional materials for the concert appeared online, surprising both residents and district staff. Council officials were unaware of the event until the advertising surfaced. The district manager confirmed that landlord consent from the council had not been sought or granted. Due diligence is now underway to ensure all requirements are met before considering any non-sporting event.
