About Mullingar as a Town
An introduction to Mullingar from mullingar.ie
Someone wrote on Twitter recently: “is everyone in #Mullingar famous?” Not quite. But we have more than our fare share of people to be proud of. Mullingar is where it all started for performers Joe Dolan, Niall Horan and Niall Breslin. The Swarbriggs are from here. So is soprano Ailish Tynan. Mick Foster lives here. Then, that’s hardly surprising, for there can be few towns in Ireland with as vibrant a music scene, with so many bands.
And indeed, providing early training for many who’ve gone on to become professional musicians are two great local institutions – the Schola Cantorum music school at St Finian’s College, and Mullingar Town Band.
The town has always had a great theatrical tradition too: the annual pantomime books out early every year; there are several drama groups operating locally. James Joyce spent much time in Mullingar – and indeed, even gives the town several mentions in Ulysses.
Sir John Betjeman visited the area – and wrote a poem here; Ginger Man author JP Donlevy still lives here.
This is a town with a great sporting heritage: if you like GAA, rugby, soccer, you’re well catered for. And it’s equally the case if you like athletics, cycling, golf, tennis, swimming, bowls, pitch and putt, pool or greyhound racing. You name your sport, and you’ll find it locally.
It’s got a lively nightlife, with loads of great restaurants; loads of great pubs, and plenty of great places to go clubbing.
If you like the outdoor life, there are three major lakes all within a ten minute drive from town; we’ve got the fantabulous Belvedere House, where all manner of activities and festivities and fetes and festivals take place all year round; and Mullingar Town Park is a beautiful place to escape from the hustle and bustle.
For shopping, a feature that attracts visitors is the fact that the main streets are lined with small shops. If you’re looking for something unique, and fashion is your passion, then you’ll have a field day in Mullingar.
The museum at Mullingar Cathedral is home to vestments that were worn by St Oliver Plunkett; a ring belonging to Marie Antoinette; and the mosaic murals in the Cathedral itself are the work of the famed Russian artist, Boris Anrep.
We know Mullingar is a great town. But we don’t really like to brag.

Liquid Motion Duathlon is taking place on the 24th of February and is the 4th race in the Ireland West Duathlon series.
The event is suitable for all abilities and the route is generally flat with some short hills. The race takes place in the seaside village of Enniscrone and takes in the beautiful beach and coast line of the surrounding areas.
The first run starts at the pier where transition is staged and follows the road down to the strand where competitors follow the markers to the turnaround. After returning on the same route to transition to collect your bike you will be marshaled out to a side road which joins the main Enniscrone to Easkey road. The bike is a very fast out and back 20km course, which follows the coast to the small village of Rathlee where you will meet the turn around point. The return route is the same road back and is mostly flat with one or two small hills when leaving Enniscrone. The 2nd run is a short 2.5km and is again flat and fast to burn what energy you have left. The course has some spectacular scenery and is not to be missed.
Prizes for the top 3 male and female, with some age categories thrown in for good measures.
**Please note a Triathlon Ireland Licence is not required for this event.
We want to wish all competitors the very best of luck and look forward to seeing you all on the day.
