By June 2023 the building had been been rebranded as IMC.

Movieland officially opened on 19 March 1999. The report in the local paper said it had a seating capacity of almost 1,000. One of the six screens had a small stage for shows and seminars. There was also a restaurant on the first floor.

Unfortunately, the original owner of Movieland appears to have passed away last year. The takeover this year looks like it will see a few changes with one casualty being the cinema organ currently in pieces, presumably being dismantled for removal. Large Irish cinema chains are fairly unsympathetic towards historical features like these!

My scanned photographs of the exterior were taken in March 2000, and my scanned photographs of the cinema organ were taken in September 2008. The Movieland is owned and operated by local businessman Ernie Watson.
