#FerryportMovies– Before Stena Line's HSS operated Dun Laoghaire-Holyhead seasonal service reopens in April, the harbour's ferry terminal is to be used as a drive-in cinema on selected weekends this month, writes Jehan Ashmore.

Underground Cinema in partnership with Dun Laoghaire Harbour Company will locate the drive-in cinema within the ferry terminal's vehicle compound area with spaces for 80 drive-in movie cars provided.

The screenings start on the St. Patrick's Day weekend (15,16 and 17 March) with a movie programme offering a wide selection of films for all ages.Two screenings are to be shown on each day, one suitable for family viewing at 7pm and followed by a second screening for mature audiences at 9pm.

Appropriately the inaugural 'drive-in movie' for the celebratory weekend will be the musical 'Grease' and featuring all those 1950's classic cars. Also to be shown later that evening is Stephen Spielberg's 'Jaws'.

As for the rest of the screenings, the drive-in cinema will be open on the weekend of 29-30 March . Films to be shown in the programme are 'Back to the Future', 'The Usual Suspects', 'The Commitments', 'Alien', 'Despicable Me 2' and 'Monster's University.'
