The Tipperary Venue would be good news

In spite of the current austere financial climate, plans for a new casino complex in Tipperary appear to be still on-going. In fact a recent statement from Richard Quirke who is the driving force behind this proposed development, indicated that he felt that the project would have been more difficult three or four years ago because of the full employment in the building industry. This piece of Irish casino news will be very welcome to many tradesmen who are suffering from the collapse of housing market in Ireland, and in spite of a certain amount of local opposition to the scheme on various grounds, An Bord Pleanala has granted planning permission for the site, although plans to include a 15,000 seat entertainment centre were rejected. Nevertheless the site which will be known as the Tipperary Venue will include a 500 bed hotel, a 6000 square meter casino, a race track, greyhound track, and a heliport. Assuming the architect’s plans are approved by Tipperary North County Council, it is hoped that this new Irish casino development will create up to 1000 jobs in the area. Whilst this is primarily Irish casino news relating to a new land based casino, online casino operators will also welcome a development of this kind outside Dublin, because it has the potential to introduce more people to the pleasure of playing casino games, and of course any new investment which creates jobs in an area will have a knock on effect in that area, improving the feel good factor and consumer confidence.
