That this Council review the granting of planning permission for "Bookies" within the Town. Killarney now has a maximum of such facilities
Cllr. Tom Doherty said that he had no objection to a flutter on the horses but that too many betting shops would give a bad impression of Killarney as a tourist destination. he said he would rather see a street-scape with a mix of different shops to ensure a relaxed atmosphere in town. He said a propper balance in mix of business is needed. Cllr. Tom Doherty asked if te Council could curtail the number of betting shops.
It was agreed that this issue would be incorporated into the new Town Development Plan.
