Taoiseach and the Minister for the Environment to appeal to them to step

Bono is quoted as saying, "What is a disaster now as far as we are
concerned could be turned into just one of the greatest days ever."

losing battle to satisfy demand. "We could easily have sold 250,000
tickets" he said.
A spokesman for the Minister for the Environment has said that a

intervene.

whom had waited for up to 24 hours outside outlets in Dublin, were upset

A police spokesman is quoted as saying, "There was a bit of pushing
and shoving in the crowd in Dublin
