(Short article about Mullinahack (Mullenahack) which was an industrial area located just outside the old city walls of Dublin between Thomas Street and the Oliver Bond Street flats complex. However, the name of Mullinahack had vanished from maps of Dublin by the early 20th century and very little has survived recent redevelopments. This links includes 19th century photos of the streets within Mullinhack and a map image.)
