The word 'hack' is English in origin, and comes from equitation, or horse-riding, a hack is a type of easy-going horse that most people can ride , and to go on a hack means to take to the roads for exercise on the horse, nothing too challenging.

It went into Irish dialect because there were so many horses in Ireland, and it means now that everything will be easy for you, that's no problem.

A hack is a horse here in Scotland, so guess it is the same in Ireland. Maybe it means you leave at a good pace.

hi you
i think you mean you a tick they say a hack in the UK but at the end of the day both words are slang words meaning the same thing in an old saying a tick or hack is slang word for second so the saying is you will be back in a second
