The sold-out Garth Brooks concerts in Croke Park will provide a boost of about €35 million to the local economy.

That's according to Dublin Town, which says businesses benefited from the footfall.

The US country music star played five nights to over 400,000 fans.

Richard Guiney, chief executive of Dublin Town, says the concerts brought huge numbers of people to the city.

"It's been ever been very positive. We reckon that's probably worth somewhere between 30 and 35 million to the City economy, and it's bringing the loss of people to the city as well, which is very welcome.

And hopefully, they'll come back and enjoy it again. And so look, overall, it's been hugely positive."
