yeah, same in cork. they could be sitting there years too until some people may 'appropriate' them and the shades will be around within a week to clear it. good example being the artists squatting this massive building next to 96fms, still fuckin vacant 5 years laterThere's some great venues in Limerick now completely closed up and being used for god knows what. This kind of shit is great and highly depressing in Limerick's case. I've went and tried to visit most of the places listed there and the amount of simply abandoned venues is insane. The best example is the Royale (aka: The place they shot the Eurovision scenes for Father Ted in) which is pretty big inside (Boyzone played there!) and is now just sitting there empty.

is the royale the one on cecil st? i went to juggling lessons there once. a friend fell off a unicycle and broke his arm
Yeah. AKA The Atheneaum. The Limerick VEC have ownership of the building at the moment and have done some work to the office and use it for their main offices but the hall itself (the Royale) is currently sitting derelict..
It's a handy size venue - not too small not too big.
I remember hearing something about a arthouse cinema going in there - not sure about the truth of that - God knows the city could do with it.
How many people can fit in there? I think I was there once or twice when it was a cinema but I don't remember it at all.
I heard that too, there's a tread somewher here from about two years back when the idea was first floated. Maybe someone needs to get onto the VEC and see what's up. They're probably hoping some rich developer will come and buy it off them though..
Sounds like to perfect place to just go in and setup a gig in there, no questions asked.....reckon ya'd get away with it?

grand, doesn't change the fact that people who took the initiative to use it were gotten rid of as soon as possible and it wasn't used for anything for yearsIn fairness, that's undergoing major renovations at the moment.
