Plans to develop a casino near a 400-year-old Quaker burial site in Waterford city have been given the go-ahead by An Bord Pleanála.
Gambling Company Blazin' Aces Partnership is planning to turn two retail units at the historic Johns Lane in the city into a private members gaming club.
The development had received a number of objections as the building fronts onto a graveyard containing the remains of hundreds of people from the Society of Friends.
An Bord Pleanála granted the permission with a number of conditions.
