Two Cork sports clubs appeal planning go-ahead for bingo hall

Two of Cork’s best-known sports clubs are trying to ensure it won’t be a “full house” for a proposed bingo hall on the city’s northside.

Neptune Basketball Club and Glen Rovers have launched an appeal with An Bord Pleanála against the recent decision of Cork County Council to grant planning permission for the use of a building next to the Lidl store in Ballyvolane for a professional bingo hall.
