A Co Meath environmental campaigner has called for a levy to be placed on the tickets for concerts in Slane to benefit the local community.

Pat O'Brien said that while the concerts are well-run and the area is always cleaned up afterwards, he feels it's time the residents of the County Meath village got something positive back.

According to Mr O'Brien, the concerts present a "tremendous opportunity" for something positive to come back into the community.
