Gaiety looks for best seats in the house

The Irish Times

Cramped and outdated seating conditions at the Gaiety theatre in Dublin will be upgraded as part of a 1.5 million project, if a planning application to Dublin City Council is successful. According to a submission by the theatre to Dublin City Council, patrons regularly complain of "poor comfort" as a result of the restrictive seating - thought to have been installed when the theatre was substantially rebuilt in 1955.
