Clare fans of Garth Brooks have been speaking of their disappointment after the country singer's five planned Croke Park concerts were cancelled.
Many are also facing bills for flights and accomodation, after a Clare TD's last-minute effort to save the concerts was thrawted by the government
As well as being disappointed, many of the 400 thousand Garth Brooks fans who were due to see the singer perform this month will also be left with the bills for accomodation, and in some instance flights.
Ticketmaster will issue refunds, but there's no obligation for companies to payback the cost of hotels and flights.
Ellie Murphy, a set designer from Tulla who is now in London, was set to travel back to Ireland for one of the events.
She say's she is devastated that she won't be able to see her family, as her work only gave her the time off because of the concert.
While another Tulla woman, Mary, told Clare FM's Morning Focus that she's disappointed in Brooks himself for not going ahead with the three concerts that were licensed.
And yet, despite the disappointment of Brooks' fans, and claims that the fiasco has damaged Ireland's reputation abroad, Clare TD Timmy Dooley has claimed there's still a chance that the Garth Brooks concerts at Croke Park could go ahead.
His Fianna Fáil party says the government could still change the law to allow a fast-tracked application for all five nights to take place as planned.
However, Enda Kenny has ruled out any emergency legislation.
While he's agreed that the licensing process needs to be examined, that won't happen on time for these concerts.
Meanwhile, Aiken Promotions, the GAA and the manager of Dublin City Council will all be grilled on the situation at a meeting of the Oireachtas Tourism committee tomorrow.
Ticketmaster has issued a statement regarding customer refunds this lunchtime, saying these will include service charges and will be available from next Tuesday.
Money will be returned to cards used to make a purchase over the phone or online, though those who made their purchase at ticket outlets in Ennis face a journey.
The Irish Shop on Lower Market Street and the temporary facility set-up outside Cusack Park are no longer ticketmaster outlets so people who bought tickets there are asked to go to a current ticketmaster outlet, or to use a postal option.
Full details are available from ticketmaster, including on ticketmaster.ie
