Wicklow County Council has granted ten-year planning permission to Greystones Media Campus Ltd for a “state of the art” multi-studio film and media campus in the coastal town of Greystones. The investment, amounting to €150 million, will back the building of a 73,511 m
2 studio space, alongside offices and ancillary production buildings constructed on the 50-acre site at the IDA Business and Technology Park at Greystones. The completion of the project will result in the stage capacity of the Emerald Isle's audiovisual industry being doubled. The economic impact, valued at €1.54 billion gross, will contribute to creating over 1,500 new jobs and will represent a major boost for the small seaside resort and its surroundings.
