That's pretty much what I said to DB this morning (it was a *long* email). DB and IR should be statutory notification bodies, they should charge the cost of providing the extra buses and staff to the concert organisers (just like the DoJ charges the cost of the Gardai) and they should have a proper transport plan in place including having transport staff on the grounds, having ticket sales buses in place and generally being organised about the thing.
Allowing 85,000 people to congregate on a small area with no planning and is lunacy.
