Answer
The level of unrecoverable public expenditure associated with the planned concert cannot be determined at this stage. Discussions are ongoing to establish the reasonable preliminary costs incurred during the planning of the event.
Any funding or support provided by Belfast City Council, or any other public sector organisations, is a matter for those bodies.
