Abstract: In the small Irish village of Carrigaholt, the traditional pub is named the Long Dock. The owners are from a family that has resided in Carrigaholt as long as records have been kept. The only thing that has changed in recent years is the personnel. The two bartenders are Lithuanians, and the tables are waited on by two Poles. The kitchen staff is entirely Latvian. The visiting American writer Thomas Lynch notes that on St. Patrick’s day, 2006, the crowd in the Long Dock seems to be enjoying the pints of stout as usual.2
