There’s at least 21 Paddy Power bookies shops playing hide and seek in any given town on any given day. Just waiting to spring up. Like predators. This will do nothing.
good, they smell and are full of gowls.
The amount of bookies in Ballyer is mad. 6 bookies within 2 minutes walk of each other.
One beside the Gala, then one beside Iceland, one beside young’s. one beside the former Bank of Ireland, then another the other end of the that first block and another directly across the road from that one.
They all look so depressing.

Sign of a recession….
Now there will only be 3979 too many
Fantastic news
In Cork there’s one within walking distance of most large council estates, completely predatory.
Hopefully it’s the start of a landslide and they all close. Good riddance
Most people I know who gamble just do it on their phones.
Good. Parasites is all they are. Miserable places to work, by all accounts.
I live close to one. The amount of sad desperate people who spend their entire lives in these places is incredibly sad. The same cars and vans parked outside day in day out. Gambling is a scourge on society
Its a shame we can’t lose money in comfort i would always see the local parish priest down there every Friday and I would bet what he better as he would pray to win
I had to do a few jobs on their premises, during Covid. I was given one of those letters declaring my work required me to travel…
Some of the customers that showed up really had me questioning humanity.
Anyone who isn’t an old fart who doesn’t know how to use a phone is using the app anyway, eventually it’ll just be the app
Retail gambling stores are slowly fading into the sunset. They are a thing of the past.
The younger generation are either smart enough not to gamble or do it online. Matter of time before the rest of the stores close.
I can’t help thinking that if bookies and paddy power bookies at that are closing it is a bad sign for retail in Ireland. The landlord in those buildings will not find it easy to attract business tenants for these spaces. The landlords will need to reduce rents and we know how often that happens.
Fuck you Paddy!
Good
Delighted the one on Dominick Street in Galway is going, it’s so out of place there. Get rid of Apache across the road too and it’ll be a perfect street again.

Irish Times had an article last week about Ladbrokes been left for dead ( [https://www.irishtimes.com/business/2023/09/26/ladbrokes-left-for-dead-in-online-world/](https://www.irishtimes.com/business/2023/09/26/ladbrokes-left-for-dead-in-online-world/) ).
