End of an Era for The Phoenix Magazine
The Phoenix magazine, often regarded as Ireland's equivalent to Private Eye, is set to cease operations after 43 years of publication.
According to Irish broadcaster RTÉ, the magazine's publisher, Penfield, is believed to be entering voluntary liquidation.
The final edition of the magazine was published on 5 June.
The publication is no longer accepting new subscriptions. A message on the phoenix.ie website states:
"unable to offer" online or print subscriptions "at this time"
Edited by Paddy Prendiville, The Phoenix was published every two weeks.
The magazine was founded in 1983 by the late journalist and publisher John Mulcahy and reached its peak sales in the early 1990s.
The Phoenix combined humour, satire, and coverage of political and business matters throughout its history.
