14/06/11 – Ireland’s highest planning authority, An Bord Pleanála, decided to grant planning permission for a large scale leisure complex including provision for a 6,000 sq. m (1.48 acre) casino close to the village of Two Mile Borris. The complex will include a 500-room hotel, a horseracing track, a greyhound track and a golf course. The project has still one major regulatory hurdle to clear as casinos are illegal in the country under the 1956 Gaming Act. However, the Minister for Justice and Law Reform, Mr. Alan Shatter, has recently indicated that he is currently examining the issue of regulating gambling in the overall interest of the country and not with any single project in mind.
