“Every week, cinemas across Ireland offer fresh, diverse, cultural film listings, designed to captivate viewers across all demographics. I welcome the announcement of National Cinema Weekend which gives a good opportunity to have that big-screen experience this coming weekend with tickets from just €4."

“Ireland has one of the highest rates of cinema-attendance per capita in Europe. I want to formally acknowledge and thank our cinema operators and the cinema workforce for their diligence and steadfast commitment to ensure that Ireland’s local cinemas play a vital role in community life, bringing people together through shared cultural and educational experiences.”
