Summary
After 43 years of sharp satire and fearless reporting, Ireland’s iconic Phoenix magazine is shutting down—marking the end of an era for independent journalism and a unique voice in Irish media. Founded in 1983 by John Mulcahy, the bi-weekly became a cult favorite, often compared to Private Eye, before sales faded and the final issue rolled off the presses on June 5th. With no subscriptions available and publisher Penfield entering voluntary liquidation, the closure leaves a void for fans who cherished its fearless blend of humor and investigative journalism.
