Eblana Theatre & Newsreel Cinema, Busaras
Archiseek.com
The Newsreel is probably one of the least known cinemas to have existed in Dublin, which might be due to a large extent to the fact that it was quite well hidden from view, occupying part of the basement of the central bus station on Store Street.

Docklands building throws new light on glazing
The Irish Times
In the context of the whole of Grand Canal Square in Dublin's Docklands, this was a bit of a Cinderella brief. At one end is the proposed theatre by internationally famous Daniel Libeskind, to the east side is a hotel by Portuguese architect Manuel Aires Mateus and in the centre there is a landscape by world-renowned Martha Schwartz. And on the remaining side is a speculative office, restaurant and shop development by Irish practice Duffy Mitchell O'Donoghue. "We didn't want our office to be the poor relation," says partner Coli O'Donoghue standing beside the distinctive tinted glass building that, amid years of discussion about the other edifices on the square, stands alone as the first building to be completed here. The 13,935sq m (150,000sq ft) structure went up relatively quickly along the fast-track route of the DDDA's Section 25 planning, while the other projects, announced in 2004, are still under construction. Architects de Blacam and Meagher were to build the hotel but were surprised, having designed it, to find they had been replaced by the Portuguese architect. Now the original developer of the hotel and theatre, Devey Group, has changed. Meanwhile, Dublin architects McCauley Daye O'Connell are working with Libeskind and Mateus on their buildings.

Hill of Tara and Georgian villa on endangered list
The Irish Independent
The ancient seat of the Irish High Kings and a 18th century Georgian villa are among the most endangered monuments in the world. Yesterday, the World Monuments Fund included the Hill of Tara in Meath and Vernon Mount in Cork in its list of the 100 most threatened monuments under threat of immediate destruction unless steps are taken to save them. Richhill House in Co Armagh - which dates from 1655 - is also included because of its poor state of repair while Vernon Mount in Cork, from the 1780s, is 'considerably deteriorated'.
