Russia gets this one wrong

The Irish Times carries a letter today from the Embassy of the Russian Federation on Dublin's Orwell Road.

Crimea may now be part of the Russian Federation. Russia might have their eyes on Donetsk and Luhansk areas of eastern Ukraine.

But Rathgar is not in Dublin 14.

South of the river Dodder is Churchtown, hence Dublin 14 and north of the river is Rathgar and Dublin 6.

Also, the embassy writes the address in an incorrect fashion. The correct address is, Embassy of the Russian Federation, Orwell Road, Dublin 14.

Incorrect and indeed inappropriate for the Russian Federation to interfere in the internal affairs of a foreign state.
