Architect is named as Major Moore of Bradford, who designed the new Savoy Cinema in Patrick Street, Cork, in 1932. He was the senior member of a partnership named as ‘Moore & Crabtree’ in the Irish Builder of 16 Jan 1932 but as ‘Moore & Clather’ in the Irish Times of 26 May 1932. In 1943, B. O'Flynn & Son made alterations to steps and passages.
New photo added today of the mall.
The Savoy closed on 1 February 1975 with the Towering Inferno, with guests from the cast of Upstairs Downstairs in attendance for some reason.
I passed theater last week. Clearly was a theater. Sad.
you have it all messed up, Im from ireland, the savoy theatre is in cork, it was demolised and rebuilt as ciniplex including other stuff like shopping and a dance hall, when it was knocked the organ was then moved to limerick to the university concert hall
The lovely Compton organ was removed and is now installed at The University of Limerick, Ireland

Following the link above by lostmemory, it seems the upper parts of this former cinema is used mainly as a dance hall, with shops at ground level. When first opened the Savoy was equipped with a Compton theatre organ.
