U2 could be hearing from the Dublin City Council over the decibel 
levels reached at their three concerts in Croke Park earlier this year.

A spokeswoman for the council confirmed that they are still 
deliberating over a decision about the noise levels reached during 
those three July dates.

"Dublin City Council has yet to issue a decision regarding the fine 
which will apply for noise breaches across the three events," she said.

U2 paid a €80,000 deposit for its Public Event License, and bar the 
noise infringement, the band was in compliance with all other 
stipulations.

Not that they could not afford the fine given their long and 
successful career, but, if they incur any penalty it will take them 
further in the red for the 360 tour.

Despite breaking attendance records and having a hugely popular jaunt 
around the globe to date, the band still have to break even on the 
tour and will not do so until it relaunches in spring 2010.
