She wrote the history bookIn the Name of Love documenting the movement for same-sex marriage in Ireland. TheBroadcasting Authority of Ireland (BAI) subsequently upheld complaints against broadcasting channelsRTÉ andNewstalk for comments on marriage equality by radio presenters Derek Mooney and Chris Donoghue – in respect of interviews that Mullaly did to promote the book – ruling that their comments breached guidelines on balanced broadcasting.
