Obamas are Bono’s surprise guests

She’s married to the most powerful man in the world and is used to eating haute cuisine with heads of state.

Today, however, Michelle Obama will trade silver service for pub grub when she visits one of Dublin’s most famous hostelries. The US first lady is being treated to lunch by U2’s Bono at his local pub, Finnegan’s of Dalkey.

The family bar, which has hosted luminaries as disparate as author Salman Rushdie and actress Pamela Anderson, was preparing to go into lockdown last night.
