Phoenix Magazine closes

[scolairebocht]

The Phoenix is no more, pretty much Ireland's only political magazine. It has gone into voluntary liquidation.

It was founded by John Mulcahy who earlier had started Hibernia and the Sunday Tribune and in recent times was run by his son Aengus Mulcahy, with the assistance of the editor Paddy Prendiville and obviously some others.

A few years ago you would definitely find many things in it unavailable in any other publication, for example about intelligence agencies North and South, but nowadays its become very establishment like, with maybe not accidentally many advertisements from government bodies like the OPW.
