Graduation in ucd

    Hi I'm looking for advice?

    My son is graduating next week. His 2 granny's want to come but only 2 people can attend ie mam and dad. Where can they go during the ceremony? They're elderly and not able to walk long distances so it'd have to be somewhere in grounds of ucd so they could be close-by to get photos afterwards? Any suggestions?

    Saying this, my son is agitated by the whole idea of the graduation. He says he's achieved a1st and got a good job and has no interest in going to the graduation only to keep me happy. He hates the attention, he hates getting photos taken, he hates going to push restaurants and he's heading home afterwards as he had gaa training so says we'll grab pub grub along the way. He thinks it's a money racket between byng suit, paying for photographer, going for dinner, hiring cape etc. Now I'm thinking it's his day and if he's not bothered why am I making him go, I've to take an unpaid day and all this for what to see him grumpy cos he's not bothered? So I'm asking is it unusual not to attend? Advice please.
