Another music lover said: “I would argue that the morale of the country is at risk here…”
“I would call on you as Taoiseach to do everything in your power to make an exception for these concerts.”

A further email reads: “I am writing to you in desperation to ask you to intervene in this disaster… you can’t stand idly by and let it fall away…
“Think about the emotional lift that this will give the country”
However some members of the public urged Enda to keep out of the Garth Brooks drama.

“This Brooks debacle began as amusing but has quickly descended into an embarrassment. Why on EARTH is the office of An Taoiseach getting involved?”
“The planning laws were breached by Croke Park, Mr Brooks and Aiken Promotions. End of Story,” an email read.
While it’s unclear if the Taoiseach replied to fans, he did reply to Garth Brooks at the time of the scandal.
