Aiken gets satisfaction over Stones gig
Tuesday January 10th 2006

Mick giving it his all

by Ray Managh

THE Rolling Stones concert promotion in Phoenix Park in August will be handled by Aiken Promotions, the High Court was told yesterday.

Jim O'Callaghan, counsel for the Office of Public Works, said the OPW was going ahead with its decision to award the contract for handling the concert to Aiken Promotions, Dublin.

But counsel for MCD Promotions Ltd said the Dun Laoghaire-based promoters would be applying next week for leave to challenge that decision.

Senior counsel Maurice Collins said that in the meantime MCD would not be seeking any interim injunctive restraint to stop the OPW proceeding with its decision which it could do at its legal peril.

The two major concert promoters had tendered for the contract to promote the Stones concert.

On finding out that the OPW had awarded it to Aiken Promotions last week, MCD contended that proper procedures in awarding the contract had not been followed. Its bid had been rejected by email on December 21.

Ms Justice Elizabeth Dunne yesterday adjourned the matter for mention until next Monday.
