New gambling legislation on the way.

 

New laws regulating gambling establishments may not be enough to resurrect the casino aspect of the Tipperary Venue.

The Government is to publish legislation giving a full legal basis for casinos however a ban will remain in place on super-casinos.

The original multi-million Euro plans by Thurles born businessman Richard Quirke were granted approval by An Bord Pleanala in 2011 but the government ruled against plans for a casino of the size proposed for Two-Mile-Borris.

While the government proposals would still not permit the original casino planned for the Tipperary Venue it may still be enough to spark renewed interest from Richard Quirke.

The Two-Mile-Borris venture was claimed to have the potential to create 2,000 job in its original format.
