Hey all carla boardsie's:cool:

Are there any more details about this anywhere?

lotdpd · 17-07-2008 09:44AM

ye its going in on the second floor of phase two of the fairgreen(above) argos/next. So at least the unit is built and its only interior fit out to be done, might make it quicker to be open........

Nice one!

fitzyshea · 17-07-2008 11:04AM

Who granted permission? Carlow Co Co or an bord pleanala? If the Co Co granted permission dont hold your breath as it will most likely be sent to bord pleanala with objections. This is what happened before. The cinema was to open shortly after fairgreen phase 2 opened but there was so many objections it went to bord pleanala who turned it down, issues such as the height of the building to not enough carparking. Wait and see if it appears in the papers next week if not dont get too excited.

lotdpd · 17-07-2008 11:16AM

did i hear they also got permission a couple of weeks back for a multi storey car park in the fairgreen, that would solve the problem of not enough car park spaces...

I didnt think it was that big of a problem, Ive never had problems getting parked there.

lotdpd · 17-07-2008 12:34PM

It would be on a sat or sunday which its full of shoppers along with the people coming to cinema..... that was one of the reasons it was rejected last time along with many others.

now they might cut the grass accross along the wall at new oak

stick-dan · 17-07-2008 11:39PM

i can't recollect which it was granted permission. I only heard it in passing on the radio on the way home from work. Hope its an bord pleanala...I heard them say revised plans were accepted so either way if it is the council that passed it maybe the new revised plans will satisfy an bord pleanala.... I can't for the life of me think what was revised as the height of the building was the main objection, and they are hardly going to lower it like. Maybe it was the multi storet car park? Anyone hea anything else?

fitzyshea · 18-07-2008 03:16PM

The building is higher than was allowed under the orginal application back in the day.

stick-dan · 19-07-2008 11:34PM

fitzyshea · 23-07-2008 10:11AM

So is mine. I have a nice surround sound system - Carlow cinema currently has worse audio than my alarm clock radio

Hear Hear. A cinema's not a cinema unless it has a balcony, and a screen that doesn't look as if it might fit into your
sitting room.
I still go regularly though, because I believe it's the best place to see a movie.
The price of stuff is atrocious though.

Okay, that shows how much i know. I thought the sound was the only decent thing about it.
