Eugene Mullen

Eugene Mullen (born c. 1898–date of death unknown) was an Irish Fianna Fáil politician, professor and priest.

Mullen was born in Roemore, Breaffy, County Mayo, to national school teacher parents, Thomas and Mary. A schoolteacher by profession, he was elected to Dáil Éireann as a Fianna Fáil Teachta Dála (TD) for the Mayo South constituency at the June 1927 general election. He lost his seat at the September 1927 general election having only served 3 months as a TD.

Mullen subsequently became a professor. Later, on 16 December 1938, he joined the Order of the Discalced Carmelites, assuming the name Father Ephraim. As a Carmelite monk, Mullen wrote the epic poem Ode to St. Patrick as well as other lyrical pieces.

He was a younger brother to Thomas Mullen, who was a TD for the Dublin County constituency from 1938 to 1943.
