A resident was left feeling annoyed and frustrated after Garth Brooks fans were caught peeing outside her front gate on CCTV.
This has been a recurring problem for people living near Croke Park during the five nights of country music gigs. Emma Lou told Dublin Live that her mam has felt like a prisoner in her Tolka Road home since the start of the concerts with many locals happy that the end is now in sight.
Dublin Live previously reported that people had been urinating on Sherrard Street with a plant also been thrown through a resident's letterbox.

Emma's mam has mobility issues but was determined to bleach down the lane after a group of people were caught using it as a toilet. In CCTV footage seen by Dublin Live a group of women line up near the family home with one moving backwards out of the sight of the camera. Other passer-by's then see their opportunity and move into the same corner.
Emma said: "She has reduced mobility and my brother lives there and has Down Syndrome. It is shocking. This has been every night. Even on match days it's the same.
"It just so happens that we actually checked the CCTV footage last night. We just have the CCTV camera for safety purposes. They actually have portaloos on the top of the road but people are just walking past them.
"Even with the amount of people that were outside the house last night. It was only early around 10:45pm. It's very frightening. It can be quite intimidating. My mam was out this morning. She uses a walking aid during the day but she was out putting bleach down that laneway.
"My father had put a gate up there but it could only go so far. It's unbelievable. Everyone think that as residents we get tickets and everything. We can't even get into our homes never mind anything else.
"My mam is more worried about my brother. He can hear all that from where his room is. She is trying to explain to him that it's okay and then a couple of minutes later there are more people there.
"I can't visit my mam again until tomorrow because I can't get into her road. We have to time our lives around the concerts.
"It's just unbelievable. I understand if you need to go, you need to go but not in somebody's garden. Thank God this is the last day."
