Maybe Naas wern't happy that no one offered a big brown envelope, I'd hate to speculate! but we all know how it works in this Country. 12m generated for the County and entertainment for 70,000 people over the two days potentially being sidelined by a few objectors! Maybe they should get ye man O'Flynn in Cork, with the heli-pad in his Stud Farm to let them know how horses really react.

Fron Kildare County Councils own website http://kildare.ie/CountyCouncil/Environment/Noise/LinkToDocument,7181,en.doc No 4 says it all really.  I bet half of these objectors have previously been 'looked after' when Oxegen has been on.  Maybe if the Racecourse Manager stated in the press that they have never had any problems in the past when there have been helicopters at Punchestown race meets it may re-assure the council that these 12 objectors are talking out of their afterburners.  Does anyone know off hand what the population of Kildare is, just curious what percentage they represent?

Funny how during the Ryder Cup when there was over 2000 movements and during the National Hunt festival when you can get 5 at a time held over Kill no one has a problem.  Whats more annoying is half of the horse fraternity dont even pay tax but theyre given more of a voice than others
