Bookmaker Paddy Power is to close 28 shops in Ireland, putting 119 jobs at risk.
Parent company Flutter UKI has announced that a total of 57 outlets are to close across Ireland and the UK following a review of its high street estate.
“Impacted colleagues will be offered redeployment opportunities where possible.
“However, the closures will unfortunately lead to a number of job losses,” the company said.
“We are consulting closely with colleagues and providing support to those affected by these changes.”
A Flutter UKI spokesperson said that in light of increasing cost pressures and challenging market conditions, it will be closing 28 shops across Ireland within the next month.
“We are continually reviewing our high street estate, but it remains a key part of our offer to customers, and we are seeking to innovate and invest where we can as we adapt to different customer trends and needs,” the spokesperson said.
Royal Ascot is undoubtedly Flat racing’s biggest event of the year – attracting many of the world’s finest racehorses and piss-artists to Berkshire for this
for this prestigious five-day festival.
But if this is your first visit to Royal Ascot, never fear! We’ve devised this handy little survival guide to help you get through it unscathed.
For many punters, the sight of large galloping beasts with little men in flamboyant shirts on their backs, is an unwelcome distraction from a five-day alcohol-soaked bender. But remember it’s a marathon, not a sprint. The last thing you want is to find yourself puking into a crap-filled portaloo halfway through day one.
So, if you can’t drink for sh*t, pace yourself. Take breakfast for example. Instead of sucking prosecco from the bottle like a ravenous piglet at its mother’s teat, have a cup of Earl Grey with your fry up. Drink for five solid days responsibly.
