Mongrel was embroiled in controversy in 2005 for its publication of "The Cunts List", which ranked notable people and organisations who were unlikable or morally reprehensible in the view of the magazine. The story was featured on the cover of The Sun when Irish chat show host Pat Kenny slammed the publishers as "low-life" in response to the article, which branded Kenny a "shithead and a moron". The magazine's contributors included a number of Ireland's leading young names in writing, photography, illustration, styling, and graphic design. Mongrel closed in February 2008 with the last issue's cover design inspired by an Irish Mass card often sent at funerals.
