Two Tipperary Paddy Power branches to close their doors permanently

Two Paddy Power bookmaking offices in Tipperary are set to close their doors permanently, it has been announced.

The massive Irish bookmaker has decided to cease trading from 21 outlets across the country following a review of its operations, with the offices at the Westgate in Clonmel and their betting shop in Templemore being amongst the offices to fall foul of the review.

The closures will impact 78 staff across the country who will be offered redeployment opportunities in other outlets close to their existing jobs. However, Paddy Power officials say the closures will lead to what they describe as a “small number” of job losses.
