Fierce competition in the celebrity sector has been blamed for the demise of Irish women’s magazine Who.
Editor Aoife Byrne is among the casualties. Mike Hogan of Hoson Publications blamed the closure on mounting competition from UK titles, most recently New!

But Hogan said he was still positive about prospects for Irish magazines and would continue to look out for fresh opportunities.
