The documentary on Mairéad Farrell was both sad and poignant. She was a pretty and intelligent girl who ventured down the wrong path, since violence will never resolve any issue. Mairéad should have been united with the late John Hume's ideology, dedicated to peace. If not, she should have moved from Belfast to Dublin. This is an old conflict that I hope will be resolved.

The cinema is in an ideal location somehow avoiding most of the tourist madness in Temple Bar and there is a good variety of independent movies to choose from - my only gripes would be the lack of comfortability when it comes to seating and very frequently the tables to sit and have coffee are very dirty. The food and drinks are slightly overpriced in my opinion but still good quality. Staff are pleasant to deal with which would probably draw me back to this cinema
