Originally from Roscommon, they were very popular among the American Irish community from the late 1920's to '50, really. Last days of vaudeville. Declan Coyne, mentioned above, has done some research on their career - and uses their name in an award presented at the annual South Roscommon Singers festival.

Funny, I don't remember ever hearing of the McNulty Family, but they have quite an impressive discography.

It seems there has never been a Mudcat thread specifically about them, but they have been mentioned here in connection with several songs.

The Online 78-rpm Discography Project lists these songs, all recorded by the McNulty Family on the Decca (USA) label between 1936 and 1947:
