We will pay human cost for super casino

I DISAGREE strongly with the proposed construction of a Las Vegas style casino at Two-Mile-Borris in north Tipperary.

An Bord Pleanala supposedly makes a decision on such projects based, for one thing, on their environmental impact but, I ask, what about the human impact? Even if billions of revenue are generated and thousands of jobs created, this will amount to nought if even one person takes their life under the burden of debts incurred from gambling at the casino.

As the gospels say, “What shall it profit a man if he gains the whole world but loses his soul?”
