8th June 2010: Vue Entertainment to open new Ballymun cinema

UK cinema operator Vue Entertainment is due to open a new operation in the mixed-use Spring Cross centre in Ballymun.

The nine-screen Vue cinema, which also currently has operations at Liffey Valley, will create 50 jobs when it opens.

Work on Spring Cross, which is being developed by Treasury Holdings, is due to begin in mid-2011. Phase 1 of the development includes a Metro station, as well as a library, restaurants, retail and other leisure uses. When built, Metro North will leave Spring approximately 15 minutes from the city centre and 10 minutes from Dublin Airport.

“The agreement with Vue is great news for the Spring Cross project and the regeneration area of Ballymun but also great news for north Dublin. There is a distinct lack of leisure and restaurant uses in this part of Dublin and Phase 1 of Spring Cross will provide these much needed facilities to the area, which now is home to IKEA with the new Dublin Airport and Dublin City University close by,” said Treasury Holdings’ director of development Niall Kavanagh.
