Actor Cillian Murphy and his wife Yvonne McGuinness have confirmed their purchase of The Phoenix cinema in Dingle, Co Kerry.
After three years on the market, the pair will begin the repair and refurbishment of the cinema next year.
In a statement on Friday, Mr Murphy said he had been going to see films at The Phoenix since he was a young boy on summer holidays.
“My Dad saw movies there when he was a young man before me, and we’ve watched many films at The Phoenix with our own kids,” he said. “We recognise what the cinema means to Dingle.”
