Over 100,000 people attended Ed Sheeran's three gigs over the course of the bank holiday weekend however concern has been expressed that taxi arrangements were inadequate.
The Cork branch of the Irish Taxi Drivers Federation says taxi drivers were unable to access Monaghan Rd which proved extremely difficult for dropping passengers off, and had a knock on effect across the city.
