Meath council approves Madonna gig

Meath County Council today approved a licence for Madonna’s Slane Castle concert on Sunday 29 August, but certain conditions have been attached.

The concert has been given the go ahead, provided that it doesn’t run past ten thirty at night and the audience has vacated the site by midnight.

Other conditions put a limit of 80,000 on the number of spectators at the gig and a levy of one Euro per ticket payable to Meath County Council.

Lord Henry Mountcharles, the owner of Slane Castle, said he was delighted that the licence has been granted, and that the focus would be on ensuring minimum disruption to the village of Slane.
