Cillian Murphy & Yvonne McGuinness Buy Iconic Phoenix Cinema In Dingle, County Kerry, Ireland; Plan Refurb & Expansion


Cillian Murphy & Yvonne McGuinness are the new proprietors of the Phoenix Cinema in Dingle, County Kerry, Ireland with plans to refurbish and expand

During the following decades, The Phoenix became Dingle’s own ‘Cinema Paradiso,’ an integral part of the community that inspired generations and served as the backdrop for fond memories. Another highlight of the cinema’s history: For 12 days during June and July 1972, crowds flocked to The Phoenix to see David Lean’s Ryan’s Daughter, which was filmed in the area. Forced to confront rising costs, falling attendance and challenging exhibition terms, the O’Sullivan family closed The Phoenix during the first Covid lockdown in November 2021.
