A bid to convert a hair salon into a casino on Cork City’s northside has been turned down by City Hall.

Leeside Leisure Centre Ltd had applied to convert Unit 6 of the Moremiles Business Centre on Redforge Road in Blackpool into a “gaming/amusement arcade” to complement its two existing casinos located more centrally in Cork City.
