When Hot Press was launched in 1977, we made a key decision. This was rock ’n’ roll: the expletives would not be deleted. And so when, in 1984, Charlie Haughey sat down for a confab, we applied the same principle. By the time Hot Press hit the streets with Charlie on the front cover, extracts from the interview were on the front page of every national newspaper. Controversy, argument and debate erupted. Overnight, the Hot Press Interview had become one of the most important and controversial platforms in Irish media. Now, to kickstart the Hot Press 50 celebrations, as we count down to 2027, Hot Press editor Niall Stokes is gathering together the finest 20 interviews to have appeared in Hot Press since the magazine was launched in 1977. It is an astonishing collection that will capture one of the most vital and compelling stories in Irish journalism.
