How did I know JohnM would be the OP  lol

The Fitz card club could be a property play considering all the development going on in town now.

Re the bookies, who uses phones for phone calls nowadays  :P  Punters are probably using an app to place their bets?

Any links? I haven't heard of the same but if it were up to me I'd ban all casinos and bookmakers from the State, they're nothing but parasites preying on addicts.

Online or on the street, they're not there to lose money, erm. If licensed bookmakers were required to accept bets in a similar way as taxi drivers are required to accept taxi fares they wouldn't survive. Preying on addicts is the name of the game.

https://www.independent.ie/business/world/britains-highest-paid-boss-takes-67m-pay-rise-38796250.html

Britain's highest-paid boss has kept her place at the top of the charts after pocketing a £57m (€67m) basic PAY RISE last year.

Denise Coates, chief executive of Bet365, took home a basic salary of almost £277m (€326m) in the year ended March 2019.

It comfortably makes her the highest-paid boss in the UK, and comes on top of the around £45m she is believed to have received in dividends as a major shareholder.

Ms Coates, 52, founded the online gambling company in the early 2000s after spotting the potential of internet betting to revolutionise the industry.

I also heard about the lease being up and it being redeveloped although the article is quiet detailed so maybe not.

Taxi drivers are not a whole lot better. Down here in Cork the last few very busy Chrimbo weekends a lot of the drivers are back Acting the Maggot again, pulling in, asking pax fer their destination with doors locked and if'n they don't like exactly what they hear, then they drive off.
