Blanch cinema advice

Would anyone have any experience of the wheelchair spaces in this cinema. Are they very close to the screen?

I was in Screen 4 the other night and as all the wheelchair spaces are on the floor, at the back of the 5 or 6 rows on ground level, yes they are quite near the screen. Certainly closer than I would like to watch a film.

Thanks i think the seat plan shows a wheelchair space for screen 3 in the third row from the front so I'll probably give it a miss

Are there any cinemas in Dublin that don't do this?

Not that I've ever seen, but if they were designing them properly, like some stadiums and concert venues, they'd have a lift access platform for wheelchair users and companion seats right at the top, behind the back seats, not on the floor.

Only possibility is the Savoy on O'Connell St, many years since I was there and before they redesigned and destroyed the large screen 1 splitting it up but it used to be a case that you entered the cinema screens from the rear and walked down towards the seating. As such the wheelchair spots were at the back. All the "modern" cinemas I've been to since are the opposite, entrance is at the front and you climb up and back towards the seating.

Is the big screen one gone? Haven't been to savoy is years, but I always remember it probably had the biggest screen in Ireland.
