Bookmakers to face court over radon testing

The background here is that Paddy Power (an Irish bookmakers) recently ran a series of "controversial" poster ads, one of which had the boyos at the last supper enjoying a spot of gambling!
Well cover me in sherry and five-spice and marinade me for an hour, I almost had a stroke. Those Paddy Power boys! So creative and full of derring-do!
The poor dears were forced to pull the ad when the Irish public unsurprisingly objected to even more cheap publicity being foisted upon them, so Paddy Power replaced the offending posters with "There's a time and place for fun and games, but this obviously isn't it!".

Jim Croke:

There are many options available in radon testing - Im surprised that P Power did not comply - maybe he didnt want to lose his credibility by admitting that when it came to the health of his workers - it was one bet he wouldnt take .

Come on Paddy
You can afford this one .
