But the Capitol had something the gate or mahon cinema's do not have and that is character. Thousands of people have very fond memories of the place including myself. In recent years with Patrick O Brian as General Manager the atmosphere in there was great. Patrick was very kind to certain charities, disabled folk, simon community etc around Cork. The long term staff such as the Projectionists that worked there etc... there was a homely feeling about the place dispite it's condition. The reason being for it's poor upgrades were simpliy because the companies many was being pumped into other cinema's such as the new mahon point omniplex. I will Miss the Capitol and the people that belonged to it. Granted It was in need of a major facelift.

It's a bit of the city's history that is now gone forever. All the cinemas I grew up with have now been shutdown. I’ve a lot of fond memories of seeing films there.
