    I know there there is a sticky thread, but the one reference was UGC/Cineworld, which is awkward to get to for me. Liffey Valley has a nice tab detailing accessibilty, that is, two wheelchairs for each screen.. Dundrum talks about watching while with a baby, not accessibility, or it is well hidden.

    It is reasonable assumption that the main Dublin cinemas have wheelchair access, but effort of going to somewhere and not being able to get in, would be awkward.

    No one answers the phone in those places.

    What's the accessibility of Dublin cinemas (wheelchair bay, ramp and accessible toilet)?

    Thanks

    Mainly they have a lift and toilet. I think though with some cinemas the person has to sit at the front of the cinema.

    Don't know how far it's from you, but Dun Laoghaire's cinema is deadly. It has a lift, wheelchair toilets and in the cinema screen I was in, there was seating on the ground level, a space and then the usual steps seating.

    The space between the two sets of seating is wide and deadly for wheelchairs as you wouldn't be your neck looking up at the screen.

    My advice would be to avoid Liffey Valley Vue Cinema. Wheelchair users are seated at the very front of the theatres, right on top(practically)of the huge screens. I was there a while back with friends, and almost broke my neck trying to look at the screen.
