In the 2002 Christmas section of our website, and with kind permission of Mr Phil Murphy (Monthly Editor of Ireland's Own) we introduced Ireland's Own to those of our visitors who may not have been aware of this truly Irish publication. Judging by the volume of lovely emails we received resulting from that, we have decided to include - as a regular feature of our website - a little section dedicated to the magazine, which has been popular in Ireland for the last 100 years. These stories and articles are merely a short selection of those featured in various issues over the years. We are also happy to include contact details and subscription information.
