It has been described as an eyesore, out of place and an architectural nightmare!

But soon Newry's controversial big screen will be gone.

By next week it will be dismantled just 15 months after it was installed.

It follows a lengthy process in which its planning approval was reversed by the high court.

Complaints that no proper consultation had taken place, were made by the Catholic Church.

It was also argued that it obscured the view to Newry Cathedral.
