Sir, Each way betting takes on a whole new meaning with the "each way" announcements recently. One arm of the establishment gives the nod to go ahead with the IR£400,000,000 "development" (destruction) of one of the country's best racing courses at Phoenix Park whereas another arm, on the same day, announces a IR£30,000,000 development programme to help fund a dramatic upgrading of facilities at racetracks (and which incidentally may be viewed at the Phoenix Park track if one acts quickly!)
These two arms have nothing to do with one arm bandits but the Agriculture Minister said that the Finance Minister is bringing the casino matter to Cabinet to make a decision. At this stage its odds on that we will end up with a horse designed by committee i.e., a two hump camel we don't want any more white elephants. Yours, etc., Broadway Park, Dublin 15.
