The Phoenix is an Irish political and current affairs magazine, established in 1983 by John Mulcahy. Inspired by the British magazine Private Eye Since 1984, the magazine has been edited by Paddy Prendeville. The publication is generally fortnightly, with a larger annual issue each December. The Phoenix "produces a fortnightly diet of cartoons and satire, smutty and sexist schoolboy humour, financial analysis, and news with an insider slant from the worlds of security, politics, media, arts, and law." The magazine was launched in January 1983. It was established by journalist and publisher John Mulcahy, who oversaw its operations until 2007. The name Phoenix is a reference to its "emergence from the ashes" of two of Mulcahy's previous publications. These were the republican political magazine Hibernia, which ceased publishing in 1980 after a libel action, and the Sunday Tribune newspaper, which first collapsed financially in 1982.
