Brendan John Mullin (born Jerusalem, 31 October 1963) is a former Ireland international rugby union football player. He played as a centre,[1] and has been described as "one of the last great Irish players of rugby’s amateur era".[2] After retirement from rugby, Mullin worked for Powerscourt Investments.[3] He subsequently joined Bank of Ireland. He was arrested in 2021 and, after a lengthy investigation, was brought to court in October 2024 to face charges relating to the theft of more than €570,000 from the bank.[4] He was found guilty in November 2024.[5]
