CINEMAS IN IRELAND were permitted to re-open under Phase Three of re-opening the country on 29 June.
Dublin Airport said yesterday that last month was the dullest July in 34 years according to its Met Éireann station there so the weather certainly suited the cinema.
In recent weeks, some cinema chains across the country have begun to re-open their doors and – with many of the top film studios delaying the release of their latest blockbusters – many have been screening some classic movies to entice the audiences in.
And, as in many other situations, capacity in cinemas is now reduced due to the need for social distancing.
So, today we’re asking you: Have you been to a cinema since they re-opened?

Great day for the drying.

The weather won’t suit those who buy their sliced pan in their jim jams…
@TouchingCloth: And usually with their palm in their Jim jams.
Vote SF Ciara….
@Paul Cullen: what sane person would vote SF
Big storm already for Sinn Fein Mary Lou falling over herself With her minister for finance in the north Let’s not forget a young man was murdered in terrible circumstances
@Michael Graham: Let’s not forget over 4,000 homeless children in Ireland. Vote SF to give Irish citizens hope!
@Mike Ruddy: Don’t make me laugh! There are 20,000 homeless in Northern Ireland but SF were too busy grandstanding about the Irish Language to do anything about them for the past 3 years!
Okay let’s all vote for Clara on Saturday and hopefully all the candidates in the election will get a good shaking up.

Speedy election with plenty of gusto. We’ll be blown into the polling stations wearing fashionable suits and dresses.
Bad weather means mostly the looney left and right will come out to vote. You want change? Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it!
What have strong winds on Sunday got to do with counting the votes?
Storm Mary-Lou would be more fitting
