It's celebrated every 27th of July and obviously has a current calendar reference. matched

And one would typically find the cold version of this at a British picnic. matched

What is this dish? matched

Have a think and I'll give you the answer at the end of the show. matched

Now, with polymarket geo-blocked in Ireland, we'll be taking a look at the predictive markets and accusations of insider trading that permeate the platforms. matched

And joining me to discuss this is Professor Colin O'Gara, Head of Addiction Services at St John of God's Hospital. matched

Colin, the reason I wanted to talk to you about this today is I was talking to a couple of interns during the week and they were telling me just how prolific matched

not just things like polymarket are particularly around young men, but gambling in general. matched

And they quoted to me a statistic that they had come across that is 130,000 adults in Ireland suffer from problem gambling. matched

So we wanted to get your take on this. matched

And they're obviously the macro figures, but I wanted to get to the sense of what you think is happening in Ireland around this and what's driving it. matched

So I looked at Polymarket myself in preparation to talk to you and one could bet in politics, sport, crypto, esports, Iran, finance, geopolitics, tech, economy, weather, right down to how many tweets matched

that Elon Musk would have out this month. matched

It was whether a stock price would reach a certain amount, whether one country would invade another, etc. matched

What do you think the availability of such a breadth of things to bet on will do to the current situation, as you say, whereby to date a lot of this has been driven by sports? matched

Do you think this could reel more people in or just does it reel in the people who are there already deeper? matched

But if I, in the ESRI study that I had quoted earlier on, it said that only 14% of compulsive gamblers began after the age of 19. matched

And I asked the interns that I was working with this week about that. matched

And I said, where are under 19 year olds who go on to become compulsive gamblers getting the money? matched

And they tell me, well, wherever they get it, wherever it's their pocket money or whatever. matched
