Career
Mullally was previously a staff reporter and columnist with the Sunday Tribune and a columnist with The Dubliner.[3] She was one of the judges for the 2007 Choice Music Prize. She began blogging at "Pop Life" for The Irish Times in 2012.[4]
She wrote the history book In the Name of Love documenting the movement for same-sex marriage in Ireland.
In an article published in The Irish Times on 27 April 2015, Mullally discussed the difficulties of acknowledging being gay in the context of a terrible diagnosis she had recently received—that of colorectal cancer. When the nurse was taking details of her next-of-kin, Mullally admitted to hesitating before mentioning her partner, Sarah.[2][5][6] Mullally's article was well-received; in an interview with Ray D'Arcy on RTÉ Radio 1, she confirmed the cancer had spread to her lymph nodes.[1][7]
In March 2015, Mullally won Journalist of the Year at the GALA LGBT Awards.[2] She lives in Dublin.[3] From the Southside, she lives on the Northside of the city.[8]
