London 1st Dec for me!

The only reason it was put to a vote is the government wanted the Constitution of Ireland changed rather than just introducing legislation, so any constitutional change requires a public decision. I do agree though, human rights shouldn't be a decision of the majority. If the vote had of failed the government could have legislated for it but this could be challenged in the Supreme Court. So happy the people made the right decision and the atmosphere in Dublin yesterday was electric!

We have Civil Partnership for the past few years but this is a constitutional change which is a significant change. It shows great support from the public which as you say shows how much much attitudes have changed and long may it continue!

Historic day in Ireland, referendum on same sex marriage is passed by public vote- over 60%! http://www.rte.ie/news/vote2015/2015/0523/703205-referendum-byelection/

Thanks Jamesy, brings back some great memories! I was soaked to the skin but a show I'll never forget, Madonna was amazing! I really want to see this show again!

With the Aviva and Croke Park there is always complaints about the sound from people sitting in the upper tiers fr all concerts held there! Not built for concerts! O2 in Dublin would be a fantastic venue to see M! Great venue, 14,000 but feels more intimate!!!

I'm sick of all the hate towards M at the moment. Who cares that it didn't sell out! M will make millions and the majority of the people there had an amazing unforgettable night and that's what matters! Thinking of going to one of the arena shows in the States as I'd love to see it again!

Lol, people left to go to the bar! The upper tiers had gaps and hadn't sold out but good solid crowd and when I looked around during LAP, the place was still packed!

I'm just back and it lashed rain for most of the show but she played the full set and as mentioned was in great form! I was GC and loved every second of! I had a few casual fans with me who were M virgins from a concert perspective and they loved it and we're amazed by the production. Great crowd tonight, really into the show. Would love to see it again with out the soaking but that didn't dampen our enjoyment one bit. She's still amazing!

The reason for the curfew is the Aviva Stadium is in a residential area! If she played an arena here like the US, she wouldn't have a curfew! The difference here is they won't pull the plug, she will have to pay a fine instead. When she played Slane in 2004, the show didn't finish until 23:30.

MDNA currently at 14 & 62 on iTunes, Celebration is at 72 and climbing!

Croke Park only allow 3 concerts a year and Westlife had 2 in June and the Chilli Peppers played also! Aviva is a nicer venue, Croke Park is too big!

If it was based on reviews the GS probably wouldn't have been released!

Anyone else here going to Dublin show?
