I have some questions for Mr. Quirke's representatives. The site in County Tipperary was mentioned and I read about it in the press. Planning permission was granted by An Bord Pleanála. What is the argument for having a resort casino as opposed to a stand-alone casino? Some of the reasons in favour of a resort casino venue proposal as opposed to a stand-alone casino were mentioned and I would like elaboration on them.
