‘Moone Boy’ drives turnaround in fortunes of Ardmore Studios

Boosted by the shooting of the third series of Chris O’Dowd’s Moone Boy, Ardmore Studios has enjoyed a turnaround in its fortunes this year after two years of successive losses.

Chief executive of Ardmore Studios, Siún Ní Raghallaigh yesterday confirmed the studio is expecting to break-even in 2013 following losses of €851,873 in 2012 and €987,622 in 2011.

Ms Ní Raghallaigh said: “Ardmore has made a considerable investment in the upgrading of the studios and the facilities. This has resulted in a gradual growth of the business with a mixture of work during 2012 and 2013.”
