Killarney gets new multiplex cinema on former hotel site

A new multiplex cinema is to open in Killarney, Co Kery on the former site of one of the town’s best-known hotels.

The developers of the new five-screen cinema on the site of the former Torc Great Southern Hotel on Park Road in Killarney have successfully appealed the decision of Kerry County Council to refuse planning permission for the project.

The site has been lying idle since Aer Rianta decided to close the hotel in 2003 with the loss of 60 jobs.
