Boylesports chases shop acquisitions in Ireland

The company is one of the largest gambling operators in Ireland and, should its planned acquisitions of nine stores from Bambury Leinster secure approval, this would increase its network in the country to 219 sites.

Mark O’Neill, chief financial officer at Boylesports, told the Irish Independent newspaper that the firm is now keen to build on this by adding more shops, citing the Irish operations of newly-formed Ladbrokes-Coral as a possibility.
