KILDARE: New look planned for old Naas cinema and shopping centre
A new look is in the pipeline for a disused shopping centre in the middle of Naas.
The centre, at North Main Street, had been previously known as the Dara Cinema.
The cinema had a sister picture house in Newbridge.
The building is known as the Naas Shopping Mall.
Keyalane Limited says it intends to apply to Kildare County Council for permission to provide a new shop entrance.
It also wants to apply for permission for a new shop front.
Keyalane was set up less than two years ago and has an address in Dublin city.
The building is described by the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage as a detached five-bay two-storey cinema, built 1939.
It was extensively renovated around 1985, with the ground floor remodelled to accommodate part use as a shopping centre.
