NEWS Irish bookmaker Paddy Power is transferring its internet and telephone betting operations to the UK to take advantage of the country's abolition of betting duty.

In its half yearly report published yesterday, Paddy Power said that subsidy had hit its bottom line, although its internet arm had generated £14m revenues.
