Omega Leisure Ltd, trading as Rock Bingo Club and based in Togher, was due to open on Tuesday, but was forced to close after gardaí raided the hall and seized all the bingo books.

The High Court heard yesterday the company had spent €750,000 fitting out the 1,000-seater hall and planned to run bingo games five nights a week.
