Appeals lodged against plans by well known actor and his Kilkenny wife to revamp old county Kerry cinema

Appeals have been lodged against Cillian Murphy’s plans for the proposed redevelopment of an old cinema in County Kerry.

The actor from Cork had the planning project approved last month after buying the site in 2024 with his wife Yvonne McGuinness who’s from Kilkenny.

Their aim is to ‘reopen the doors’ of the Phoenix Cinema in Dingle and construct an extension for a cultural centre.

An Coimisiún Pleanála list three appeals against the site, with a decision due to be made on it on the 27th of July.
