History[edit]
Initially the paper was a monthly publication but in April 1945 it changed to a weekly paper.[1]The paper had offices onMerrion Squarein Dublin and later inO'Connell Street.The paper was founded by Ciarán Ó Nualláin (who had worked for theIrish Independentand was the brother ofFlann O'Brien) andProinsias Mac an Bheathawho were disaffected withConradh na Gaeilgeand 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]
