January | February cover star, Evanne Ní Chuilinn

January | February cover star, Evanne Ní Chuilinn, tells the country's top sports stories for a living as a leading sports broadcaster on RTÉ: “We’ve always been an underdog," she says on the topic of Irish sport, "with the exception of those stars that come along every now and then, like Sonia O’Sullivan or Paul O’Donovan in the rowing – he’s miles above everybody else. People talk about passion all the time, but I actually think we’re resilient as a nation and we pick ourselves up when we fall. The Irish women's hockey team is the perfect example of that. They were beaten in a penalty shoot-out in 2015, and it was the last chance to qualify for Rio and they missed out. They went into a dark hole and they really struggled, but they went back to the grind, targeted the world cup and came away with a silver medal. Now they’re headed to the 2020 Olympics. Of course there is passion, too. All you have to do is go to a GAA club match on a winter’s Saturday. Come to my club where my kids are running around in the rain because they’re dreaming of what they saw in the summer.” Read her full interview in the new issue, out now. #irishcountrymag #evannenichuilinn #irishmagazine #madeinireland #irishhockey

RIP Marian Finucane, the iconic RTÉ broadcaster who paved the way for women in journalism. Throughout her career she asked questions with the listeners foremost in mind, and made guests feel welcome with her signature warmth and curiosity. RTÉ Director General Dee Forbes mourned the sudden passing of the Radio 1 presenter in a statement today. "Marian was a broadcaster of immense capability; a household name, she was first and foremost a tenacious journalist with a zeal for breaking new ground. From Women Today to Liveline to her weekday radio show on Radio 1 and, latterly, her enormously popular Saturday and Sunday radio programme, she tackled the big social issues of the day with command and insight," Ms Forbes said.

"The idea of beauty that we have in western society changes from generation to generation, so really what matters is that you surround yourself with people who make you happy and not get sucked into that vortex of judging people either. I am very lucky that I had that education early on." Wise words from our December cover star @kathrynthomasofficial. Our December issue with Kathryn is in shops now 💫

As part of our December issue cover shoot, @kathry

As part of our December issue cover shoot, @kathrynthomasofficial wears a stunning blue-grey dress made by Irish designer @helencodydublin who created one of Kathryn’s two dresses for her big day. “When people ask was it the best day of your life I still say the day Ellie was born was the best day of our lives, and celebrating that at our wedding with all our friends and family was a very close second to that.
"Before when I did interviews, there was always that question you’d get asked, ‘would you like to start a family, is that in your plans?’, and it always was but I could never explain how tough that question was and how difficult that journey was because you can’t share it when you’re going through it.
"That’s why I decided to be open about it because so many women don’t talk about their struggles with fertility and having children later in life. For us that journey was a particularly stressful one, and it takes a toll on you both personally and on the relationship.
"So when she did come into our lives it was the best day, and to be able to celebrate that with our friends and family who have been privy to that journey and completely understand what we'd been through - three and a half years of getting to that day - that's what the wedding meant to us."
