Fit-out of new Limerick film studio set to start

Limerick City Council is set to earn up to €350,000 for the annual lease of a huge former industrial unit to Ardmore Studios which is planning to set up a film industry hub at Plassey Technological Park, near the University of Limerick.

The council announced last month that it had bought the 32,516sq m facility for €6m. It was previously used by Dell and Wang prior to a Limerick businessman buying the building, more than 10 years ago.

During the Limerick City of Culture 2014, the building was named the Culture Factory and used for a number of major events.
