The Laois local authority rejected an application for the festival to go ahead, citing public health grounds.
Sinn Fein's Health spokesperson and Waterford TD David Cullinane says there's a lot of anger:
"The uncertainty that is caused by this type of indecision, and people not knowing who's in charge or what the rules really mean is what angers people."
