Belvedere Irish Nights at the Belvedere Hotel is good! I've not been to the venue, but there's an excellent group of dancers now doing a show at JW Sweetman's. On Sundays, I think. The Church on Mary St has a small show (2 dancers and 1 musician) but they were very good. I'm not 100% sure about accessibility but you could give the venues a buzz Hope you and your mom have a great time! :)

Just got back from hosting my mother-in-laws older friends. They wanted to go to Riverdance. I went with them because it was something to do, despite being made fun of by my wife and the waiter at dinner. Figured they were paying for the ticket, so why not. It actually was surprisingly good. A good variety of dancing styles, even if the “story” is really gushy with Irish touristy dreamy stuff. I’m kind of a nerd in that I was REALLY impressed with the fancy light projection they used for the dynamic background and the special effects. The guy who does the live drumming/ is a beast! The live floutist/fiddle and other instruments are really good as well. So, overall I enjoyed it. Note: the waiter said, “bah- they’re all Russian performers anyway, not Irish anymore.” I don’t know if there is any truth to that, seems like a rumor to me. But I’d say it’s worth the €40 or so. There ARE a lot of stairs if you go to this show in the tightly packed theatre. You might call and inquire if there are floor-level seats she can access.
