DVD rental kiosks take root in Ireland

May 4, 2005

The Sunday Business Post: A new company is promising to shake up the DVD rental market by setting up kiosks in convenience shops and workplaces.

Customers can choose from a selection of films which are dispensed automatically from the Cinematic machines when credit card details are provided. The films must then be returned within 24 hours.

"We've had them on the ground for two weeks now and it's growing every day," said Cinematic co-founder Barry Lynch

Lynch said it would provide significant competition to the established video chains.
