AN EXPLORATORY meeting on the possible regeneration of the old Astor Cinema building in Scariff heard hopes that “the heart of the town may soon beat again”.
The Zoom gathering was convened last Saturday night by community activist Eoin O’Hagan, former chair of Clare Tourism.
Mr O’Hagan is the driving force behind a bid to make a large-scale application to the Department of Rural and Community Development.
Earlier this month, government unveiled a plan to reinvigorate rural Ireland by transforming disused derelict buildings into remote working hubs and community venues.
