Laytown

A couple of questions for the pod.

How many videos did that pro sports advice film at Laytown and only post one winning bet? Why does AK Betts want to be associated with them? Also, what's the thought behind having staff on pitches dressed like that? They have not got two pennies to rub together.

A little piece of stuff, Grant.

So AK, do you want to fight back there?

Lots to look forward to.

Were you at Laytown?

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to go.

I was kind of preparing to come to this, and I think we're both aware of the Jolly Boys outing that takes place from a certain pub in Harrods Cross.

Hello, it is episode two of four this week from the horse's mouth.

If you are listening to this ahead of the action on Thursday from Doncaster, Frank Hickey and myself have already sat down and had a good chat about that and even touched on Laytown.

And Frank Hickey joins me again.

Frank, to look out to Friday.

Good morning.

Um, let's start, uh, locally, uh, firstly, Minister, and you've been seeking, uh, assurances from ESB Networks that its program of improvement works, uh, for Bettystown, Laytown, Mornington, that sort of area, will be completed within the promised timeframe at the minimum possible further disruption to customers.

There has been a lot of disruption.

Oh, a massive amount of disruption.

These are ones just, um, uh, absolutely unplanned.

People don't have any notice of them.

In fact, we've asked them to make sure there are no planned outages tomorrow when the Laytown Races are on.

It's a huge day, uh, in the local community, and to, to, to, to, to make sure they take that into account, uh, in relation to tomorrow.

... yeah, I couldn't be more excited about this.

I mean, uh, yeah, I think Laytown Racing's coming up, uh, soon, isn't it? The, the big Laytown meeting on the beach there.

We've got a double header, yeah.

I absolutely love going to that.

I mean, I, um, just life's too tricky at the moment for me to go on ambitious projects like that.

But if you could combine Laytown Racing with Irish Open, I think it's this weekend or next weekend, um, you know, that would be one heck of a, a sporting, uh, uh, vacation.

Yeah, Laytown.

That's, uh, yeah, that's on the bucket list, old Laytown.
