I don't see a bunch of Dublin's anarcho finest being able to do squat (arrf arrf) about the inaccesibility of a listed Georgian Building in Dublin. But do outline how you intend to get around the first obstacle without endangering anyones life/sanity?

> Social centres are abandoned buildings—warehouses, factories, military forts, schools—that have been occupied by squatters and transformed into cultural and political hubs, explicitly free from both the market, and from state control. By some estimates there are 150 social centres in Italy.

Give Us Some Space: New Initiative to Create Dublin Social Centre

Sorry just was the meeting is at 8.00 and not 7.30 as I stated above, apologies.
The weekly seomra spraoi meeting is on this evening. The films were just suggested for before the meeting as a social type event. I don't think the place is yet properly open to the public as a free for all - for many of the reasons raised above. Of course, anyone interested in watching the films/attending the meeting are very welcome tonight.
Unfortunately, as the room (which is all we have at the moment) is on the second floor there is no wheelchair access. It was an issue that was raised previously at meetings but finding anywhere groundfloor in a central location was very difficult/extremely pricey.
However, future plans could include wheelchair access, would be tricky but with good design could be possible - all adivce welcome.
With regards to health and safety - this is definitely a critical issue. Work on this area is ongoing - of major concern is good lighting and a review of fire safety. Trained electricians and other experienced people in the know are badly needed - can you help?
There is a huge amount of work yet to be done to the place and lots of help needed. If you'd like to get involved please come along this evening at whatever time for the films and at 7.30 for the meeting.

If you can mount the steps in your wheelchair, you can push the bike aside. This may be a problem. If you manage this, and you get in, you may have to mount several flights of stairs up to the second floor. This may be a problem. These problems have been dealt with though, because no anarchist social centre activist has physical disablities, so the need for access for people with disabilties does not arise.
If you do suffer from physical disablities and you want to get in, if you can make it up the steps, you may ring the doorbell (currently non existent, but destined to be at approximate head height like all others). No doorbell? If you are already a part of the group or know someone already involved in the project, then you can ring around on their mobile phones, one of them may be there or might know someone with a key, and they will come down to let you in if its an option.
What do you mean you dont have a mobile phone?

Glad to hear that you'se have discussed health and safety issues. So how do I get my wheelchair past that dead bicycle frame outside the front door?
your issues have been brought up at past meetings and a procedure is in place.
Health & Safety:
If you are inviting members of the public to attend events in that premises do you need to get some kind of Health & Safety Statement? There is a world of difference between presenting a public event at someone else's venue and actually providing the premises yourselves for such an event. I get the impression that things have not been thought out that well.
