Irish house/bar

[John Dunn]

As a footnote to the history of Russo-Irish cultural and commercial relations, it may be noted that some of these links originate in Aeroflot's use of Shannon Airport as a staging-post for its transatlantic flights (Shannon is where Boris El'tsin once memorably failed to wake up). The duty-free and the Irish Bar at Sheremet'evo are both run by Aer Rianta, the company that operates Ireland's airports.

Yes, from the beginnings of the Irish House, the Irish Bar was right 
next to it - 2nd floor on the Arbat. It did, and still does, attract 
a "specific" expat crowd (and now more Russians, of course) that has 
also not changed much. I think the same people own the Irish Bar at 
SVO-2.

> Is/was the Irish Bar located near where Irish House used to be?
>   Sorry if this is a little far afield, I'm just having a nostalgia 
moment.
