Gambling is still a big growth industry. Its just that it has mostly moved online - 7 X 24. The exception is casino gambling.
i prefer gambling online , open 24/7 and no need for cash, a couple of clicks job done. very handy
Well done on naming 3 of the biggest reasons why online gambling is incredibly dangerous and bad.
At least in a physical bookies, if you lose your cash you have to leave and go withdraw money out of an ATB go back to the bookies and hand it over again. It's effort and makes you think twice. Online gambling does not.
Fully agree.
I don't get applauding the bookies closing down, at least they employ people locally. It's not a sign of reduced gambling, it's a sign of it heading into a poorly regulated online environment.
It's bad news.
True but won't be an advert to kids etc is one plus.
I'm sure the less than handful of staff will have little issues getting jobs elsewhere. One less scourge on the streets.
Westside SC - What's going in beside the butchers there? There is renovation/works
That's the existing O'Hehirs bakery being renovated with a Temp makeshift shop on the path outside. Seems to be taking a long time too.
Han Electricals in Briarhill Shopping Centre appears to be closed, store is mostly empty of stock, and a notice from centre developers on the door about not tampering with the locks…
58 years? It was only there since the mid 80s
1985, but it had been in Eglinton St. since 1966 before they bought and moved to the former Glynn’s Gift and Toy Shop on William Street and later bought the adjoining Baker’s Kitchen. The business had been operating for 58 years.
Yep.
Cork has 27 Aldi stores, then Dublin (26), Galway (12), Kildare (9) and Tipperary (8)
Galway is the third most populous county, so there is scope for more

Good for them! Lovely people. They were operating out of Anno Santo and then doing the fish 'n chips by the docks while doing catering. Glad they found a new home.
Apparently a new pub (Cadell?) is opening this Thursday at Caribou's old spot. Anyone lay eyes on it this week? Hoping they recapture some of the magic.
Raging! Where can we buy our budgie smugglers now??
They've started on the new shop down at Bonham Quay.
what shop? cafe?
Id say it's the spar,/ Musgraves one that had planning a while ago by the looks of fridges etc in there so far. Not Avoca that also have planning
Possibly going to be a CostCutter. Or at least owned by someone who runs Costcutters elsewhere.
Finished now, portacabin gone and store reopened since last weekend.
Is that the one in westside?. Definitely needed modernising, I'll try it again next time I'm over, recently the coffee in McDonald's was far better sad to say.
Costa is gone from Corbett Court Shopping Center
Yes. forgot to look at the layout, just bought a few donuts.
Jaysus really? Always thought that was busy.
I thought they were on the lower level of Eyre Square?
