After seven long years, he’s back on Irish shores.
In 2014, Micheál Martin called for legislation to allow Brooks to play five nights at Croke Park.
#GarthGate rages on, four years later.
Reports suggested that Garth could come to Ireland for three gigs next year, but his rep says it’s “not true at all”.
Fianna Fáil’s biggest Garth Brooks fan* reflects on the saga that convulsed a nation.
This is undeniably lovely.
Did you miss this?
Support group, gather round.
Sure feck it like.
Can we have a shot?
The Twitter reaction has changed dramatically since this saga began.
Well, for one night only at least.
“I’m not sure if I’m able to turn the poison chalice into sweet wine.”
Scarlet for us.
…and the Mexican ambassador, seriously.
Won’t somebody think of the mammies?
Enda Kenny claimed that the gigs could have been worth “a quarter of billion” to Dublin’s economy.
Those were the days.
Oh dear, Dunnes…
We will never be the same.
It’s not known whether it will include a resolution to the Irish concerts.
*applause*
Fianna Fáil say Ireland’s tourism reputation is at stake.
