art deco inspired carpet and lighting, lush teal seating, together with reclaimed, reused, revitalised and re- stored original features evoke a sense of luxury that just doesn’t happen the om- niplexes of the modern era. However, the projectors and equipment for showing films is the most up-to-date and advanced available. A fully modern cinematic experi- ence with a richness of style and splendour. Let’s face it, for a couple


to hire a babysitter and go to the cinema can be a costly experience. While there will always be a place for the 8 screen multiplexes around the country, The Regal Cin- ema experience promises that special ‘something ex- tra’ and unique surround- ings that


you cannot get


from the city multiplex. Screen 1 comprises of a


total of 122 seats, 99 on the ground floor and 23 on the new mezzanine level – so some couple must bring the


mother in law!! The seating in that upper level is the pin- nacle of comfort with wide armchair type seating (made in France) covered in vel- vety red material, with each seat number stitched in gold- en thread. This area shall be reserved for adults only for both safety (due to the bal- cony) and audience comfort. The beautiful old surround of the screen is original, and the inlay has been tastefully revived. Screen 2 will seat 55.


Screen 3 is the multi-pur- pose room. It can seat 40 and, as needed, the seats can be removed and the space becomes, well, whatever you wish. There will be ac- cess for community groups, presentations and meetings. Groups such as Youghal Musical Society can use it for rehearsals for example and basically, whatever function you wish. The team will also be able to live stream con- certs, plays and events right onto the screen. All sorts of community serving uses are in the plans for the Regal, such as autism screenings and old black and white film nights (as an aside from a

movie lover, Jimmy Cagney and Fred Astaire were born 120 years ago next year – wouldn’t the chance to view some of their classics on the big screen be phenomenal?) You could even arrange to invite friends and family to watch your wedding video! The possibilities for uses of the spaces are limitless. Fellow Company Director, Nick Eagle, said “We’re delighted to have the mul- ti-purpose space, which we feels offers the public some- thing completely different from the norm.” Now what extra facility could possibly up the ante for this great night out? Yes, a bar! David O’Ro- urke, owner of Redbarn Construction, is delighted to announce that a wine li- cence has been granted and a wine bar has been installed upstairs. In line with the lux- ury of the refurbishment, overseen and organised by Ned O’Connell’s Interiors, the wine bar décor oozes the same luxurious attention to detail as seen in the screen- ing rooms. The original half dome windows set the entire space apart. The tasteful


lighting, colours, fabrics and upholstery throughout the building were chosen and put together by Michelle, Catherine and the rest of the team at O’Connell’s. Speaking with The East Cork Journal, Michelle said, “We’re delighted to be a part of bringing back the glory days of the Regal Cin- ema. It was a challenge and a lot of work but we drew plenty of inspiration from the sight of such a fine build- ing with its original features and touches of the 40s. Da- vid, Nick and the team have been a pleasure to work be- side, and we at O’Connell’s wish them the very best with their new venture. I’ll look forward to many evenings in


the future when I can buy a ticket, relax into a seat and enjoy a show.”


Ticket prices are as follows: Adults €8 before 5pm and


€10 after Student / OAP €7 before 5pm and €8 after Family of 4 €23 before 5pm and €27 after Children €6 before 5pm and €6.50 after Mezzanine level is €22.50

Thursday, 5th


July 2018 East Cork Journal Noel Collins Elected as Chairman at East Cork Municipality


nominated by Fine Gael Councillor Michael He- garty, and seconded by Independent


Cllr Mary


Linehan Foley. On nominating Coun-


cillor Collins, Councillor Hegarty reflected on the past year stating “it was an unusual year in some sense, as we lost one mem- ber and gained another which is history in itself.” The Fine Gael Cllr had


referenced the stepping down of Fianna Fail Cllr Aaron O’Sullivan, who resigned his position last November due to work


commitments. Cllr O’Sullivan was subsequently replaced by Fianna Fail Cllr Michael Ahern at Convention in Midleton in April. Councillor Mary Line-


han Foley seconded Coun- cillor Collins’ nomination for Chathaoirleach. In his acceptance speech Councillor


Collins said


the year ahead will prove difficult for the Municipal District. He said “Local Govern-


ment reform has buried local democracy” with Municipal offices now be-


coming the Government’s complaints department. The new Chairman


added “it will be no easy task with the housing and health crisis, major deficits in roads funding and flood defences, with major EU funding needed for the drainage and dredging of rivers to alleviate potential winter flooding.” The


Midleton based


Cllr said that despite the difficult year ahead it was incumbent on everyone “putting their shoulder to the wheel and do the best they can for the people of


East Cork.” The outgoing Chathao-


rileach,Fine Gael Cllr Susan McCarthy, said the past twelve months has been a busy time for the Municipal District with a number of projects being progressed. She said in particular


Youghal town had received major investment in the Clockgate Tower and its Marine tourism has been enhanced by the addition of the pontoon. Fianna Fail Councillor


Michael Ahern was elect- ed Vice Chairman.
