        Ahhh now yer talkin....and the back room suspected of use by the Volunteers and IRA meetings in their time...with Black n Tan raids looking for weapons...never found....yet living happily concealed in the grandfather clock, the same clock that harbours the dead to this day.

        Not forgetting the singing sessions organised by DTW in late 60's and early 70's....and with the past James Joyce connection from when he drank in the same room, I was in the company of interesting ghosts eh ?
        Mentioned in Ulysses and Dubliners = 'Counterparts' "when the Scotch House closed they all went around to Mulligan's. They went into the parlour at the back and O'Halloran ordered small hot specials all round"

        And where - of course - on 27 March 2004, Minister for Health Mick Martin unofficially announced there was to be a smoking ban....which kicked in two days later.

        Ahhh yes ! if there's one good thing we can thank Dev for, I'd be the provision of enough regular semi alcoholics to keep Mulls in business while waiting for the Celtic Tiger and the TV series Bachelors Walk to ensure it's survival with a new wave of regulars to replace the old guard of the The Irish Press

        What about the bit of yer man the yank Billy Brooks Carr from Texas buried in the grandad clock ?

        A pic of said back room. Assorted pix and a rare pic of some friends.
        All taken in the place used by the insurgents and raided by te Black & Tans ....a little piece of unknown War of Independence history.

        • THE grave of a young boy killed during the Easter Rising in Dublin 102 years ago is to finally be marked with a headstone.

          Eugene Lynch was aged just 8 when he was shot dead on April 28, 1916 – becoming one of 40 children to be killed during the Rising.

          A gravestone and memorial will be unveiled for the child on March 23 at Goldensbridge Cemetery in Inchicore, Dublin – across the road from where Eugene's family lived at 4 Vincent Street.

          According to RTÉ presenter Joe Duffy, the author of 'Children of the Rising', the deaths of Irish youngsters such as Eugene in 1916 have "long been forgotten by history".
