- Ardmore Studios, in Bray, County Wicklow, is Irelands's only four wall studio. It opened in 1958 under the management of Emmet Dalton and Louis Elliman. Since then, it has evolved through many managements and owners. It has been the base for many successful Irish and international productions, including The Spy Who Came in from the Cold to Fair City, Braveheart, My Left Foot and Veronica Guerin. After the lapse of its initial business plan in the early 1970s, the studio became the government-backed National Film Studios of Ireland, under the management of Sheamus Smith. During Smith's tenure, notable movies based there included Michael Crichton's The First Great Train Robbery, starring Sean Connery. When government funding was withdrawn in the early 1980s, a consortium led by Tara Productions (Ireland) Limited, among whose partners were producer Morgan O'Sullivan and writer Michael Feeney Callan, and MTM Hollywood acquired the studios in November 1986. O'Sullivan then spearheaded a campaign to attract major international films to Ireland – a strategy Dalton and his partner, the entrepreneur Louis Elliman, had pioneered in the 1950s – and succeeded in securing important co-production investment which revived the studios during the 1990s.O'Sullivan's successor as managing director of the renamed Ardmore Studios was the accountant Kevin Moriarity. In 1990, the MTM shareholding was sold to Ardmore International Ltd., a company owned equally by Paul McGuinness and Ossie Kilkenny. Ardmore Studios had several successful years from 2006 to 2010 during the filming of The Tudors and Camelot. However, from 2011 to 2013 the studios suffered losses, and in 2013 Siún Ní Raghallaigh was appointed CEO. She implemented immediate cost cuts and restructured the company to enable it to compete more effectively with a lower cost base. The studios are now operating successfully. (en)

- Is é Ardmore Studios, atá suite i mBré, Contae Chill Mhantáin, ach ceithre stiúideo bhalla Phoblacht na hÉireann. Is é an stiúideo scannán mór eile in Éirinn Titanic Studios (mar is fearr aithne ar an Paint Hall Studios) ar Oileán na Banríona sa Cheathrú Titanic i mBéal Feirste. D'oscail an Ardmore Studios i 1958 faoi bhainistíocht Emmet Dalton ag an Aire Tionnscail agus Tráchtála, Seán Lemass ansin. Ó shin i leith, tá an stiúideo tar éis teacht chun cinn trí go leor athruithe bainistíochta, ag comhdhlúthú deiridh sna 1990í. Bhí sé mar bhunús le go leor léirithe rathúla Éireannacha agus idirnáisiúnta, ó The Spy Who Came in from Cold to Fair City, Braveheart, My Left Foot agus Veronica Guerin. Tar éis don phlean gnó tosaigh a bheith aige sa luath sna 1970idí, bhí an stiúideo mar stiúideonna scannánaíochta náisiúnta de chuid na hÉireann, faoi bhainistíocht Sheamus Smith. I rith na bliana, bhí scannáin suntasacha atá bunaithe ar an gcluiche seo The First Great Train Robbery de Michael Crichton, ag seinm Sean Connery. Nuair a tharraingíodh siar maoiniú an rialtais go luath sna 1980í, bhí cuibhreannas faoi stiúir Tara Productions (Ireland) Limited, ina measc siúd a bhí ina léiritheoir Morgan O'Sullivan agus an scríbhneoir Michael Feeney Callan, agus bhain MTM Hollywood na stiúideonna i mí na Samhna 1986. O'Sullivan ansin i gceannas ar fheachtas chun mór-scannáin idirnáisiúnta a mhealladh go hÉirinn - bhí straitéis Dalton agus a pháirtí, an t-fhiontraí Louis Elliman, i gceannas sna 1950í - agus d'éirigh leo infheistíocht chomhtháirgeadh thábhachtach a athbheochan a athbheochan na stiúideonna sna 1990í. Is é an cuntasóir Kevin Moriarity, a bhí ina chomharba stiúrthóir ar an athainmníodh Ardmore Studios mar chomharba O'Sullivan. Sa bhliain 1990, díoladh an scairshealbhú MTM chuig Ardmore International Ltd., cuideachta atá faoi úinéireacht chomh maith le Paul McGuinness agus Ossie Kilkenny. Bhí roinnt blianta rathúla ag Ardmore Studios ó 2006 go dtí 2010 le linn scannánú na Tudors agus Camelot. Mar sin féin, ó 2011 go 2013 d'fhulaing na stiúideonna caillteanais agus in 2013 ceapadh Siún Ní Raghallaigh mar POF. Chuir sí cur i bhfeidhm ar chostas láithreach agus athstruchtúraigh sé ar an gcuideachta lena chumasú dó dul san iomaíocht níos éifeachtaí le bonn costas níos ísle. Tá na stiúideonna ag feidhmiú go rathúil anois. Ó lár 2013 bhí na cumarsáide ag feidhmiú ar chumas iomlán na stiúideonna. (ga)
