Literary Journals Ireland 2025

Irish literary journals form a sort of silent infrastructure of the country’s writing life. Some endure for decades, others flare briefly and disappear, but at any given moment only a small number are actively commissioning, editing, and publishing new work. 

The list below includes what remains - sadly many great journals have disappeared. It focuses on journals currently publishing, rather than those that exist only as archives or reputations. Links lead to each journal for readers and contributors to evaluate directly. (links open in new windows) 

This is not a canon, nor an endorsement, but simply a working list of the Irish literary journals and other  relevant publications that remain active today.
