Co Kildare woman is biggest Lego collector in Ireland

Rathangan woman Jessica Farrell featured on an RTE documentary for her vast collection of Lego.

The Collectors programme was also unusual in that it was filmed entirely on an iPhone - a first by a broadcaster in Europe.

This one-hour programme was made in-house by the RTÉ Factual Unit and tells the story of six people who are dedicated collectors of everything from Lego to Barbies to Coca Cola memorabilia.

She clocked up 700 hours working around her day job as a market gardener to create the stunning 3ft-high replica.

Model theatre-goers can be seen sitting in the auditorium and queuing on Charles II Street outside, while meticulous detail is given to the Grade-II listed building's architecture.

Jessica was inspired to build the theatre after she went to see Phantom of the Opera with her family.

She worked on the model for two hours every day before work and after dinner at her home before finishing it last November.

She later boxed the 57,992-brick creation to ship over to London.
