That means they’ve finally fleeced the gullible in those areas. The only downside I can see is having some cheap retail space available means they’ll be replaced by vape or phone repair tat.
Oh no, when the bookies move out who moves in? Vape shops
Hopefully the dominoes keep falling
Good.
A fucking scourge
Finally some good news!
Shame for the staff but gambling should not be so prevalent in our society
People in the comments acting like it’s great news as if they don’t make most of their money online now.
Great to be able to gamble conveniently on my phone
They just moved onto the app
Still need to increase the betting levy
Best news so far this week. Parasites
Good. Parasites. They should all be shut down.
Are the challenging market conditions caused by waves of suicides/arrests/bankrupcies among their customer base?
The pubs beside the 29 shops have closed 1st. Challenging market conditions me arse.
They don’t want any shops. A lot harder to police people who the audacity to win. I had 1 good month about 3 years and they banned me online. When it all goes online anyone who is up after a year will get restrictions.
They banned me 6 months ago from trading with them clowns
The pubs next door are closing down, so the custom is falling away. Bookies are pretty empty now a days.
Just means all the aul lads are using the app now which is far more dangerous.
Time to bring back the 10% betting tax
Des anyone know the branches, I’ve tried looking for them?
The majority of those using shops nowadays were either pensioners, on the dole, underage or drug addicts.
There are very few places that are as depressing as a bookies.
Twenty-Nine new Vape shops to open across Ireland
Up the Red Devils! 💪
Hopefully brokelads do the same
Hopefully brokelads do the same
Maybe just a me thing but I’ve never really seen the appeal of gambling
Fantastic news
Now hear me out, what about turning the empty shops into community tea rooms, voluntary staff and cheap like super cheap tea and simple foods, or art spaces or anything community based.
Ah feck I just remembered insurance, health and safety, food hygiene and all that jazz.
Never mind.
Sure when you can place the same bet from you mobile phone sitting on the couch is there really a need for shops.

Good riddance
Good
Great news!
Glad to hear this, those places always sadden me. Never fathomed gambling your life away.
As a horse owner also, I hope it brings pressure off the gambling market wound horses. It attracts the worst people trying to profit from the races
I feel sad for the employees
but fuck paddy power
I know this means pubs have closed, so their business has dried up, and online gambling is much more popular now. I used to work with a guy who used to go to the bookies on his break. He worked in accounts, so he knew how to keep it small and from his wife checking their accounts.
If he bet that it was going to rain tomorrow, you know its going to be a sunny day. That was his luck. It’s not funny how bad his luck was. We entered covid, and he got internet at home (hes an older guy and just needed his sports channels at night). I came back to the office after COVID, and he lets slip that he had downloaded all the bookies’ apps and was banned from one of them already.
He genuinely looked in pain when the alert would come up on his phone from one of the apps to say “You’ve a free bet waiting for you!” or something along those lines. I know some people don’t see gambling as an addiction or as severe an addiction as alcohol or drugs, but it’s the quickest I’ve ever seen someone hit the bottom and go back for more. If you asked him to jump off a cliff, he’d be logical and say no, but if you said, “I bet you …”, he’d do it immediately. Couldn’t turn it down in bet form.
So great these shops are closing, so they can’t be sneaky in there, but the appsneed to be addressed. Not to mention the ads that I, a vehement anti-gambling person, get daily through social media, are mind-numbing. I wiill find where 888 casino are based and show them how mind blowing they are.
All bets are off
People can’t afford to gamble anymore.
Leading indicator incoming recession
Challenging market conditions. You made it challenging paddy power by you’re own greed and stripping any value out of all markets to enhance you’re bottom line. Hard luck. The games over for you
Bricks and mortar eats into their margins. Online easier and quicker mechanism to fleece people without the costs
Rookie numbers, we need to pump em up
Good. Fuck those parasites.
online gambling is far better, i couldn’t tell you when i was inside a bookies last
