An international consortium behind a planned new €300m media campus in Greystones Co Wicklow has said it is renewing its focus on the project, following the ending of a strike by Hollywood writers and actors which disrupted the sector and its plans for the site.
If follows growing local concern at the lack of progress with the project, after a limited amount of preparatory work carried out at the location for the campus near Killincarrig in the wake of the announcement two years ago.
The investors said 450 people would be employed during construction and they pledged that when completed the 670,000 square feet of studio space across 44 acres would contribute to the creation of 1,500 jobs and a doubling of film and TV production space here. "It resulted in a 12-month delay affecting medium and long-term planning for productions across the world," the statement said.
