Phoenix Park Residents Seeking Extra Security Amid Ed Sheeran Violence Fears

mariemadden

Residents in the Phoenix Park area of the city have reportedly requested extra security ahead of Ed Sheeran’s upcoming Dublin gigs.

Several gig-goers were stabbed during a Swedish House Mafia gig at the venue in 2012 and according to Dublin Live, locals are concerned that Sheeran’s three-night run could also result in anti-social behaviour.

A spokesperson for the residents told the Irish Daily Star that they were seeking guarantees that the “annoyances” associated with previous performances would be avoided this time around.

A forum to discuss a new garda safety strategy for Phoenix Park gigs will take place later this week.
