Sorry to disappoint, not a "hot" irish lass here.

Anyway, UV (both A and B) can be blocked by clear glass or non-glass material, all normal correction eyeglasses do that for example (yeah, i wear glasses too). That requires a special coating of course.

As to the 737 flight deck windows, those are laminated glass and block both UV types to my knowledge. I have to admit i do not know if there is an additional layer for the window heating as there is in some other types.
