Mullahoran (Irish: Mhullach Odhráin – Hilltop of Odhrán) is a townland in the south-west of County Cavan, bordering County Longford, on the northern edge of the Midlands in Ireland. It is also the name of a Roman Catholic parish.[1][2][3] It is a constituent part of the electoral division and civil parish of Drumlumman.[4][5]

Built environment

[edit]

Our Lady of Lourdes Roman Catholic Church is located in the area. The church was built for parish priest Thomas O'Reilly in an unusual Romanesque style between 1911-14 by local builder W.A. Coote and was designed by Dublin architect Thomas McNamara.[6][7]

Sport

[edit]

Mullahoran GAA club and grounds (Our Lady of Lourdes Park) are located in the area; the majority of the club's members hail from the local rural area, although some come from townlands slightly further afield.[8]
