Lcated in Ballyshannon, County Donegal. The Erne Cinema, presumably named after the Lough, opened on 7th October 1946 with Greer Garson & Gregory Peck in “Valley of Decision”. It had 800 seats with an RCA sound system fitted. It was closed in 1969 following a fire and despite still being listed in the Kine Year Book of 1971 but it never re-opened.

The Erne opened on 7 October 1946, a month before the Abbey with “The Valley of Decision” starring Greer Garson and Gregory Peck. A fire closed the cinema in 1969 when the balcony and roof were damaged. The Rock Hall in the town was brought back into service for screenings on a temporary basis but it looks like the Erne never reopened. There was talk of it being used as a factory for fishing equipment.
