A company that provides large screens at concerts has apologised after a message appeared at a gig in Londonderry suggesting a camera would zoom in on women's chests.
The words "CCTV Boob Watch" were displayed on a screen at the Electric Rock concert in Derry's Ebrington Square on 2 June.It told BBC News NI, the person responsible was immediately sacked.: "A manager heard about it on the night and the person who was responsible - who was being used from a sub-contractor - was sacked on the spot."I'm not aware at this stage if a camera did actually zoom in on anyone's chests.
"I work with women everyday who overcome a lot of trauma, mainly breast feeding trauma, so I am very conscious of this kind of stuff, the message this puts out there, and I am sure other people are too.The concert's promoter, Robert Allen of Connected Festival, said he will not be using the big screen company again.
"When we became aware of the matter we referred it immediately to the company responsible," Mr Allen said. "They have informed us they are reporting the individual responsible to the relevant authorities and as promoter of the event we will not be using their service again".Related Topics
