Kerry Deaf Resource Centre Update 25.06.12

SUBTITLED MOVIE IN TRALEE
Tralee Omniplex Cinema is showing a subtitled movie on the 27th of June at
6pm.

The movie is Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter in 3D. The cinema is based
in Dan Spring Road in Tralee. We are delighted and thrilled to see access
grow and grow for movie goers across Ireland and its fantastic to see Tralee
Omniplex also providing subtitle access.

Spread the word to any Deaf person or hard of hearing you may know about
this movie. It would also benefit people with limited English- the subtitles
would help them to following the English spoken word too. For more
information on Tralee Omniplex, go to www.omniplex.ie
