Entering Snooze Mode
Given my heavy work commitments at New Island Books, I have decided to officially put Irish Publishing News on snooze mode for the foreseeable future. As many of you will know, I've not been updating it in properly for some time, so this is really making a formality of what was already happening. I want to thank everyone who has helped me with the site over the years. Eoin (15 July 2013) I can still be reached for comment etc by email: eoin.purcell AT gmail.com
