Belltable

The facility opened in 1981 in what was previously known as The Coliseum and the Redemptorist Confraternity Hall. It was named after Henry Hubert Belltable, a Belgian army officer who founded the Holy Confraternity in Limerick. In February 2013 it was announced that the company behind the Belltable had gone into liquidation. The liquidation followed a major €1 million refurbishment of the centre. A budget overrun of €300,000 is believed to have been the cause of the company going into liquidation. The centre closed in January 2013. Since 2013 it has been a regular screening venue for the Richard Harris International Film Festival. The Belltable theatre reopened in 2016 under management of the Lime Tree Theatre due to a grant from the Arts Council. There is a café in the basement. ==References==
