Limerick hosts TV show from ‘Game of Thrones’ creator

Production crews from the UK arrived in Limerick yesterday to prepare to start filming a new TV blockbuster Nightflyers, whose creator, George RR Martin has also been responsible for Game of Thrones.

Up to 500 will be employed as the cameras begin to roll in the Troy Studios building at the National Technology Park, in Castletroy.

The debut of the Limerick studio as a location for a global film production is being hailed as historic in the home city of film legend Richard Harris.
