Burger King appeals as application to extend opening hours fails

Burger King claims it is being unfairly treated after it was refused permission to extend its opening hours in Killarney to 3.30am on special weekends.

The restaurant, which is in a busy nightclub area, wants to extend its 1am opening hours on bank holidays, special, and sporting weekends, including the All-Ireland Football weekend in September.

It has told An Bord Pleanála that nearby nightclubs and outlets are allowed to remain open much later than it and is now appealing the ruling.
