What, so only 100ml of liquid allowed?

From someone who clearly hasn’t a clue about going to concerts.. This is both impractical and expensive, and this still won’t tackle the alcohol or majority of anti-social behaviour.

A few muppets dragging it down for the rest of us.

More useless ideas from the out of touch brigade. This plank is really earning his money with this one. A complete knee jerk suggestion no doubt to appear tough on anti social behaviour. What a fail. Corralling the drunken idiots who caused the trouble into a que to get into somewhere they want to go will cause more fights minister. More. And more is bad.

First off public parks should not be used by private promoters to make profit for themselves. Why did MCD not rent out venues such as the Aviva, the RDS? Was it because the OPW gave them a better deal? I’d also like to know if MCD paid the OPW and if so how much?

The second point was made by another contributor MCD should have opened up the area earlier in the day and let people settle down a bit before the show.

Lastly, and here the anti drink people will give me a hard time, but from what I hear the drinks inside were too expensive. People were buying cheap(er) alcohol outside. Then they drank it ALL and too quickly and thus got too drunk.

The OPW and MCD have a lot of questions to answer. Also lets not forget there was about 45 thousand people at the gig not everyone there were thugs. Those who ruined it for others and injured people should be to book and pay a very heavey price.

Walk through metal detector and then proceed to retrieve the knife you threw over one of the many walls surrounding the Phoenix Park.
Rocket science it is not.

Disgraceful how this government continue to shrug responsibility. As commented to Alan S. yesterday, when this government can control one single street in Fublin and rid it of violence, then they can call the kettle black.

I call for airport security for every pub, football game, open air event, blooms day, all GAA events, all streets in every town, our private houses and all places of business. That’ll make us all safer

Dont think the airport style scanners would work really, Dublin airport only takes in 50,000 people a day and it’s scanners are open and running 24 hours. The concert would be over by the time people got in.

What we need to do is the same thing that we do every time there’s a problem that we can’t figure out a way to fix. Look at how every other country does it. You can’t implement a policy, make something legal or illegal, raise a tax or lower a tax without a huge debate over how every other Western country does things, so why not now? We are one of the only countries with this problem. I went to an Oxegen style concert in Germany, 70,000 people, every day I left my phone in my tent, and my tent door open because it was too warm. I used to leave for hours on end and nothing was stolen. This is the norm in foreign festivals, because they don’t take any messing. Ok we can’t prosecute everyone with a zero-tolerance policy, but we can kick them out. I can’t ever remember seeing a fight in a nightclub in Ireland, ever, because bouncers here will kick you out for any indiscretions. And that’s the way it should be at concerts.

Or don’t make everyone down there cans and bottles at the front gate. Give them an area to sit and enjoy the day before the concert.

More dope and more dub would sort the whole mess out.

If everyone lived in strictly policed camps we’d be much easier to control…..

If a ‘certain’ type of event attracts a ‘certain’ type of people then don’t hold the event.

If MCD want to hold concerts in future let them go to a nice bog in Leitrim.

A load off shit

Metal detectors won’t detect broken glass or ceramic knives.

Unworkable.

They should have a booze ban at it though & if someone is obviously p1ssed, they don’t get in.

Your not going to remember the gig anyway I’d you’re sh1tfaced.

If police used Sniffer Dogs at the security entrance it would cut down on the drugs use and resulting violence. Not that difficult to implement and cost effective.

Of course what criteria will we use for this risk assessment? We’d save money by applying it across the board to all open-air concerts. The cost of these security measures would obviously put every small festival not run by MCD out of business, but that’s a small price to pay compared to having the electorate arbitrarily up in arms again over these young people and their dance music.

Off course there should be stricter searches and security put in place ! It doesn’t matter how expensive it would be we don’t put a price on the cost of someone’s life , all seven ppl stabbed could have died . At least with more stringent searches less of this behaviour will take place. C’mon ppl on the last article you were complaining about thugs an security , now someone puts a suggestion out there to help the situation without blaming the music an the comments are still negative !

Why not the Politions apologise for letting the youth of
Ireland down !
