In Thomas Maier’s book on the Kennedys he refers to visits by JFK to Mulligans. In 1945 Kennedy was a Hearst columnist and paid a visit to Dublin and frequented the pub. He was baack in Dublin in 1947 as part of a Congressional trip during which he met De Valera and also paid a visit to Mulligans.
Mulligans was also the watering hole of choice for the late great writer and newspaper savant Con Houlihan.
I personally consider this specific posting , “John F.
Kennedy’s visits to Mulligan’s Pub, Polbeg Street, Dublin, 1945 1947.
« West Cork History”, fairly engaging plus the post ended up being a remarkable read.
