Fermoy arcade planning appeal rejected

Planning permission for a controversial amusement arcade in Fermoy has been refused on the grounds that it would have potential negative impacts on the local community.

An Bord Pleanála has rejected an appeal by Fun Junction, which runs similar amusement arcades in Youghal and Midleton, for its proposed new outlet at Corrin Court in the north Cork town.

The company had challenged the earlier decision of Cork County Council to refuse permission for the new gaming and gambling centre.
