Dara Cinema, Naas

It was a pleasant surprise to find this cinema still in business in the centre of Naas as there is a five screen multiplex just out of town. Clearly past its best but some attempt has been made to provide more for customers as it now has two screens showing.
They're coming!

The Barrow-upon-Soar mine of British Gypsum has been developed since 1990 to create a mine to bagged plaster manufacturing facility to replace plant at their Gotham works. To meet ongoing growth in demand for Thistle plasters, a major expansion of the plant was completed in September 2002, increasing capacity by around 30%.
