If granted planning permission, the first of the studios could be up and running next year.
Plans are in place to build the largest film studios in western Europe in the midlands.
A UK and Irish consortium of industry experts has chosen Mullingar as the location for its new recording facility, which it aims to keep up with the huge demand for content on online streaming platforms.
It’s hoped planning permission for the development on a 25 acre site in Lough Sheever Business Park will be granted in the next six months, with the first studios to be up and running in 2023.
Local Fianna Fáil senator Aidan Davitt is among those involved in the project - he says it’s a massive win for the region:
