    We should all meet up and watch the Scream trilogy before they release the next instalment this year. Then we'd all know the rules!

    Arrange some pub to do cinema nights and I'm on for it. I've seen too many horror films to risk calling around to someone's house...

    That's actually a great idea IMO.

    Yeah, one of my favourite pubs in Galway (the Oslo in Salthill) has a cinema night every Tuesday, wish they'd open a sister pub in Limerick (great German beer stocked too).

    I have always said that this building would make a fantastic cinema/theatre complex for the city with a big hall maybe its time Limerick started playing Ice Hockey !

    Thanks Op.....this thread brings back memories from my youth in the '70s. Before Dunnes took over that property it was the former Stokes & McKerins (hope I've spelt McKerins correctly) building. It lay derelict for many years and there were periodic stories about the building being haunted.

    I recollect some coverage in the local press at one time about a bad experience a night-time security guard had there.....the story was that a "Blue Lady" haunted the place. Naturally enough we all laughed but few were prepared to go in there at night.....

    Had not heard of any issues during Dunnes' tenure on the site but then again I'm a long time gone from Limerick. Now that it's derelict again these stories are bound to reappear......a bit like the ghost!!!
