Final touches being made to the town

Filming on a new major Netflix movie starring Emily Blunt and Andrew Scott is due to begin at 1pm in Rathangan today.

Many buildings have been given a bright lick of paint to represent a more traditional Irish main street. The former Hacketts supermarket has a whole new temporary facade to create the exterior of an old style cinema.

The former butchers on Bridge Street has also benefited, with a new orange shop front with the title, Dolans stenciled over the front door. The “drapery side” of Ma’s Kitchen has also got a make over reminiscent of old Ireland.
