De Paor Architects arthouse cinema proposal for Galway

Currently on display in Galway City Hall is this proposal for a new arthouse cinema close to the City Museum. Designed by Tom dePaor, the scheme features several cinemas stacked above each other reminiscent of old tower houses. The development is 4.5-storey building comprising three cinemas — 176-seater at basement level, 77-seater at second floor and 105-seater on the third floor including 28 seats on the balcony. It will also contain a café, bar and a dvd and book shop.

Due to circumstances beyond our control, the original story which was a working link at the time of publication may be no longer available on the newspaper site. In that case, the dates and headline of the story will allow you to research the original through your local library. In addition, some newspaper sites may require registration, either at a cost or free.
