Bingo hall closes again after garda raid threat

After spending €750,000 on turning the former Waters Munster Glass premises into the Rock Bingo Centre in Togher, the owners finally managed to open to players on Thursday and Friday last week. Hundreds turned up to play on both nights, but hopes of further games on Saturday night were dashed when the owners, the Barber family, were notified that gardaí intended to carry out another raid.

On numerous occasions over the last few weeks, legal representatives of the gardaí and the Barber family have been before the courts over the 1,000-capacity bingo hall.
