We could be seeing Tom Cruise walking about the place before long.

The infamous Church Of Scientology could be setting up shop right here in Dublin, according to this report by The Journal.

And not just any shop, their biggest shop outside of the U.S.

While there are some Scientology centres already scattered around the city centre, a document has revealed that the Church is aiming to set up their European headquarters in the Victory Centre on the Firhouse Road.

The Dublin 24 property was a NAMA-owned property, which sold last year for a third of the €18 million price-tag at had at the turn of the decade, is now apparently listed as the “Church of Scientology International”, making it the only one of it’s kind within the religion outside of Los Angeles.

With a capacity of over 1,200, this is now added to the Merrion Square address the Church opened in late 2016 as their new National Affairs Office.

So with that in mind, how you long do you reckon it’ll be before we see John Travolta, Beck and Elisabeth Moss strolling around The Square?
