The GAA has been told it can never hold more than three concerts in a row at Croke Park from 2017 - under the terms of a proposed resolution in the row with residents.

LRC chief Kieran Mulvey was drafted in to mediate the dispute which arose over the announcement that Garth Brooks would play five nights at the stadium next month.

The GAA will also be asked to make a 500-thousand euro 'legacy fund' to compensate for this year's concerts.

Richard Chambers reports:

Kieran Mulvey was called in to resolve the bitter dispute between Croke Park and its neighbouring residents after the announcement of five Garth Brooks concerts next month.

In his report he accepts the residents' claims that the "disproportionate" increased use of the stadium does impact on their quality of life.

The LRC chief says the decision to hold five extra concerts on top of the three One Direction gigs was misjudged - and has called for a limit of no more than three consecutive nights of concerts - or a total of 9 per year.

He's also called for a 500-thousand euro legacy fund for local projects to compensate for this summer's disruption.

Mr Mulvey says he can't comment on litigation threats mentioned by some stakeholders - and says he hopes the report contributes to a new beginning.

Residents are yet to respond to the proposals - but just last week they warned that no progress had been made in the talks with Kieran Mulvey.
