"It is a midweek evening in Dublin city centre and the pavements of O'Connell Street are thronged with office workers finishing a day's shift and Christmas shoppers, laden with bags. The Carlton Casino is located on the western side, between Henry Street and the Parnell Monument. Named after the original Carlton Cinema, which opened here in 1915, it is decked out with an abundance of Christmas lights and decorations."
