Kings of Mud Island

After the Plantation of Ulster in 1606, three McDonnell brothers, dispossessed, made their way south.

One of them settled on swampy uncontested land in Dublin, claiming themselves as its monarch.

Welcome to MUD ISLAND.

A refuge at the fringes of Dublin Society, Aran and Luke seek to learn of its colourful history of Smugglers, Highwaymen and MORE.

From secret passages to the bloody pirate escapades of Art Granger, its hard to believe what is now Ballybough and Fairview was a muddy slobland soundtracked by savage fights between the Mud Islanders and the Revenue Men, and stories of banshees and Collier the Robber.
