Dublin City Council says it's unlikely to move the two Garth Brooks concerts it turned down to later that week, because the licencing process can't be fast tracked.
It also says promoters were warned it had serious concerns over the number of gigs planned for Croke Park, before it refused permission.
Meanwhile, Dublin businesses are calling for an urgent resolution to the dispute, with estimations the five gigs are worth around 50 million euro in revenue.
