Dublin's IMAX cinema in Parnell Street is to close down this evening. The
370-seat building, which opened in June, 1998, is owned by the Sheridan
Group in Belfast and has three managers, four projectionists and eight
floor staff. Staff were only told of the closure a few days ago. The IMAX
system uses 3-D projectors onto a screen as tall as three double-decker
buses. Two restaurants in the same complex closed down in recent weeks.
