A few of the now defunct Alltech beer festivals make up the entirety of the times I've entered the building that currently houses the Dáil. I'm unsure as to whether there is a bar operating here for the TDs; but a members bar doesn't need a publicans licence; hence why the normal Dáil bar is never going to appear here.
Another fun bit of licensing trivia: if not extinguishing an existing licence, the only way to create a new one is with primary legislation. The Convention Centre was the most recent example of this, under the Intoxicating Liquor (National Conference Centre) Act 2010. The last one before that was the National Concert Hall in 1983.
