AN Irvine curry house has been given approval to allow children aged between 12 and 15 to attend private functions in the bar until midnight.
The Gulab Brasserie, in the town's Stanecastle Road, applied to North Ayrshire Council's licensing board for the move.
Owner Davinder Summel said the amended licence would only apply at pre-booked functions when the area was closed off to the general public.
An earlier application for an outdoor drinking area was withdrawn before the meeting.
There was one objection to the proposal, regarding children being allowed into drinking areas.
However, councillor Christina Larsen proposed the licence amendment be granted, which was seconded by councillor Ronnie Stalker.
The move was approved unanimously.
