Irish movie fans just can’t get enough of silver screen

IRISH cinema-goers are breaking box-office records, according to new research. Dublin admissions are the highest in Europe per head of population as a blockbusting experience of the past decade continues for the cinema industry in Ireland.

Research reveals people go to the cinema on average eight times per month in Dublin.

On average, throughout the Republic of Ireland, admissions stand at 4.4% per capita compared to 2.2% across Europe and 2.9% in Britain.
