Abbey One & Abbey Two

Horgan’s was converted in May 1973 to Abbey One and Abbey Two, closed 1988.

Building began in 1910 but was postponed owing to the hostilities with the opening not until 26 December 1917. It was purpose-built with 600 seats, with wooden benches at the front and upholstered seats at the back, and had back projection. Early screenings included the Youghal Gazette, a newsreel of local stories. It closed in 1988 and the projector is now in the Tiernan McBride Library at the Irish Film Institute. The building was later turned into craft shops.
