Was so shocked to learn of the passing of Mr Mullaney. A true legend and the ultimate gentleman. Always enjoyed our chats when I visited the shop. May his gentle soul rest in peace. Our deepest condolences to his family and many friends.

So sad to hear of the passing of John.

A native of Sligo, every trip from Melbourne, I would visit John in the shop and have built up quite a collection of hats, as suggested by John!

A gentleman and a character ... rest in peace

Condolences to the Mullaney family,during our college days John was always a great support to the students. Returning to Sligo for our 50th reunion last year had the pleasure of meeting the same dapper charming man. May he rest in peace

Deepest sympathies to the Mullaney family on the passing of John. I only ever had the pleasure of meeting John once and he left a lasting impression on me. An absolute gentleman and the greatest salesperson I have ever encountered. I still have the photo I took with him after buying far more than I intended to upon entering the shop ;) A very smart, funny and kind man. May he rest in peace.

Dear Mullaney and extended family,

Your shop on O'Connell street was an important cornerstone in our family. In fact your goods and wares became the fabric of our lives. I bought all of dad's presents in the shop eventually. He particularly loved your selection of jumpers. He even wore one to his grave, rest his soul. My aunt would always visit when she came to Sligo from Germany. The shop was famous there, that's for sure. And this of course through the lovely presence of John.
The presence of a loving generational family business in any community is what makes life so wonderful. So thank you from us all for sharing that with us throughout the world.

I have just learned of the untimely passing of John Snr. He was a true gentleman in every way. Always had a lovely smile and time for a chat when shopping in the store. Our thoughts and prayers are with all the Mullaney family at this sad time. May John's gentle soul rest in peace.

Comhbhrón ó chroí to the the Mullaney family and to the staff of Mullaney Brothers on John's sad passing. John was a listener, a most erudite draper, his generous and courteous nature enshrined him as an ambassador for his beloved Sligo. We appreciated his help and wise counsel on numerous occasions. John's support for The Yeats Summer School was unwavering.

Vibrates in the memory-----
And so thy thoughts, when Thou art gone,
Love itself shall slumber on". P.B.Shelley.

A legend in Sligo retailing. Renowned for his friendly and courteous approach to customers, both young and old.
Also his love of Sligo, Yeats, art and local history. A gentleman to the end. Rest in peace John, you will be missed.

It was with a sense of deep regret that I read of John’s passing. One of the pillars of not only the commercial life of Sligo town but also its cultural heartbeat too; John appeared to be an immutable, changeless figure of Sligo society, impervious to the march of time. A fellow member of the ‘Rag Trade’, and with both customers and suppliers in common, an interesting conversation could be banked upon when my parents and he would meet either at trade shows or on O’Connell St. It touched me that, after the sale of our business in Manorhamilton and my fathers death some years later, any time I met John on my visits home to the north west, he always asked after my mother. A gentleman to his very core. Through his cultural and business interests, his concern for people, gentle demeanour and irrepressible good humour, John accomplished what all should aspire to but few of us have or will achieve, and left this world a richer place than he found it. To his family and friends, I extend my sincerest condolences.
