Lotto winner loses battle over Titanic-themed bar in Cobh

A Lotto winner has lost a 10-year legal battle over a plan to set up a Titanic-themed bar in Cobh, Co Cork.

The Supreme Court yesterday dismissed an appeal by Vincent Keaney, from Cobh, who in the 1990s won £1 million in the Lotto.

The appeal arose out of the dismissal in 2008 by the High Court of Mr Keaney’s case concerning his efforts to get additional funding after he ran out of money to complete the Titantic Bar and Restaurant.
