From the author:

I have conducted more than 1,200 interviews for the book ‘Mulligan’s- the grand old pub of Poolbeg Street’.

As you can imagine, many of these interviews were intriguing and invigorating. Some, not so. I had to decide what to include and, more important, what to exclude.

This is not an easy choice to make. However,  one story to me encapsulated the subject.

And so, I decided to put this story in the introduction. This is the door to the book and the door to the premises.

The story is from Mick Murray. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did and as much as your fellow readers do.

Mulligan’s – the grand old pub of Poolbeg Street, published by Mercier Press will be released  in May 2015.
