Overview

• Independent Ireland TD Ken O’Flynn and councillor Linda de Courcy initiated proceedings in Dublin District Court to object to Vicar Street’s dance and music licence.
• Judge Máire Conneely adjourned the case to 17 November and directed that objections be submitted in writing within three weeks.
• Barrister Dorothy Collins, representing venue operator Liberty Venues Ltd, told the court she had not been aware objections were forthcoming.
• The move comes after the BBC’s Executive Complaints Unit found Glastonbury coverage breached harm‑and‑offence rules, prompting removal of the footage and a halt to broadcasting so‑called high‑risk performances.
• Bob Vylan’s Dublin date on 26 November is part of the We Won’t Go Quietly tour, with the band also reporting US visa revocations and a Netherlands show cancellation this month.
