    LOL...I moved to the Southern Cross in 1999 and they were on about this new Superquinn then also. I sold up and moved in 2007 and they were still saying it would be starting any year now.
    I'll believe it when I see it.

    Bray

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    A cinema is surely needed around the Bray/Greystones area

    Absolutely - I think the old cash and carry building opposite Bray DART station would be ideal in terms being accessible to public transport and not relying on cars

    I believe it was a very popular dancehall many years ago...the Arcadia.

    I dunno if a cinema would be fab. I would change the emphasis - from a shopping centre with traffic from 9am - 9pm, to a situation where the traffic would increase significantly from 5pm until 11pm. It will change the nature of the space, and the road.

    What is your issue with it? Its not ideal having to bring my kids to either Arklow or Stillorgan to the cinema. A welcome addition to Bray.

    My issue is as I have said: a "shopping centre" which will now be going 16 hours a day (between 8am - 12 midnight), not 12 hours a day (8am - 8pm).

    In addition, it will be all cars - there is virtually NO public transport to it.

    My objections lie as a local resident. I fully understand the appeal for anyone NOT living beside it, to be able to drive to a cinema closer than Dun Laoire, Wicklow or Stillorgan.
