Mullinavat (Irish: Muileann an Bhata, meaning 'mill of the stick')[2] is a town in south County Kilkenny, Ireland. Its main industries are tourism and agriculture. The town's name in Irish translates as 'mill of the stick' which, according to local tradition, may refer to a mill which could only be approached by means of a rough stick over the Glendonnel River, close to where Mullinavat Bridge is now located.[3]
