History

Initially the paper was a monthly publication but in April 1945 it changed to a weekly paper.[1] The paper had offices on Merrion Square in Dublin. The paper was founded by Ciarán Ó Nualláin (who had worked for the Irish Independent and was the brother of Flann O'Brien) and Proinsias Mac an Bheatha who were disaffected with Conradh na Gaeilge and had formed a grouping called Glúin na Bua (Ulster spelling: Glún na Buaidhe).[2][3]

Ciaran Ó Nualláin (1910-1983) remained as editor from its foundation until 1979, when he was succeeded by the assistant editor, Tarlach Ó hUid (1917-1990).[4]

The loss of Irish Government financial support due to rationalisation led to the demise of the paper.[1]
