Vogue Cinema Sale Under Scrutiny | Ireland News

An old Art Deco cinema in Kilkeel, the Vogue, has become the center of a controversy after its 20-year vacancy and a botched council sale process. A late bid—submitted past deadline but higher than earlier offers—led the council to reject all bids and relist the historic building at $120,000. The complainant, who envisioned turning it into a community hub, argues the process lacked fairness and transparency, prompting an Ombudsman investigation. The council defends its actions as legally required to secure maximum value, but critics say the real issue is procedural integrity—and whether this cultural landmark will ever get the care it deserves.
