The major redevelopment of a cinema bought by artist Yvonne McGuinness and actor Cillian Murphy has been appealed to the planning commission by several local residents. 

The well-known Phoenix Cinema in Daingean Uí Chúis was bought by the couple in November 2024, with the pair receiving permission by Kerry County Council in February to refurbish the historic building.
