Bingo operator relieved as court rules activities are lawful

A COMPANY operating a bingo hall yesterday spoke of its “enormous relief” after the High Court declared its activities were lawful.

Omega Leisure Ltd, operating as an agent for a charity, had sought the declaration after a Garda raid on its premises early last month prevented bingo sessions proceeding.

However, the company was not entitled to damages as a result of the raid, Mr Justice Frank Clarke ruled.
