Last night, hundreds turned out for the launch of Newstalk Breakfast presenter Ivan Yates' new memoir, Full On, at the Marker Hotel in Dublin.

The book documents the life of the former politician from his childhood in Enniscorthy through to the beginning of his career in politics and the financial difficulties he experienced following the collapse of his company, Celtic Bookmakers.

Yates is also due to hold a second launch for the book in Hotel Ferrycarrig in Wexford on Monday.
