Warning over funds for planned Limerick city cinema

posted in: All News, Ireland | 0

ONE of the men behind a proposed new cinema at the old Theatre Royal in Cecil Street expects it will show “four or five” blockbuster films a year.

Former university lecturer David Burns said the €5m facility will concentrate on the second run of movies, as well as arthouse films not seen in mainstream cinemas.

Plans to transform the currently-derelict building are effectively at the ‘shovel-ready’ stage.
