Default how to know which seats look ahead when booking online

Dear all,
I need to book a Dublin-Belfast return trip online and since it's possible to select your seat number, I was hoping to do so.
My query is: how do I know which seats look ahead, towards Belfast, and which don't?
Any replies would be greatly appreciated.
All the best,
HD

Seats facing to the left on your computer screen face Dublin for all services.

Obviously there are occasions when a train is backwards, though this is a rare event Dublin Belfast

Note your journey must commence from the Republic of Ireland to avail of booking

Thanks a million, Mark!!

Soooo....if I understood well, I should book:

-for the Dublin-Belfast leg: the seats facing to the right of the computer screen
-for the Belfast-Dublin leg: book seats facing to the left of the computer screen

Would that be correct?

Thanks again

Thats it

So for example seat 31 is a window seat and it faces Belfast
