Public anger sparks meeting after plans for new cinema refused

A public meeting is to be held after plans to build a cinema in Donegal Town were refused planning permission.

Plans for the five-screen cinema along with public parking and a shop and restaurant were refused over traffic concerns.

However, an online campaign has sparked a huge outpouring of support backing plans for the cinema.

Local woman Yvonne Callaghan launched the campaign just a little more than 24 hours ago and already has 2,000 signatures supporting her campaign.

Now a public meeting calling for permission to be granted for the cinema will be held in the Abbey Hotel in Donegal Town on Monday, November 27th at 8pm.
