Known in Irish as An Muileann Cearr, Mullingar is probably the only town in Ireland to be named after a miracle. This illustrated book tells the story of Mullingar's rich historical and archaeological heritage from the earliest times to the present day. It also contains a guided tour of the town's historic streets and buildings. The book will give residents and visitors a broad picture of one of Ireland's oldest towns.
