Film studio to be built on Dell site - Hollywood hub

The late, great film actor Richard Harris must surely be smiling from above at the thought of his native city becoming a Hollywood hub.

Movie and TV stars could be soon on their way there as plans are being finalised to turn the old Dell computer plant into a film studio. Coming fast on the heels of Limerick’s successful designation as the 2014 City of Culture, this is good news not just for the art world in the west of Ireland but also for employment prospects in an exciting industry.

Limerick City and County Council has all but concluded an agreement to turn the old building in Castletroy into a first class film studio.
