The first issue of the newspaper was published on the night of 1931 Kilkenny v Cork All Ireland Hurling Final; other newspapers did not cover the GAA sport in detail at the time. Margaret Pearse, Padraig's mother and Willie Pearse, pressed the button to start the printing press. The initial goal of the publisher is to achieve a speedy 100,000 circulation. This continues into the customer list of 200,000 at its peak. Irish Press Ltd. was officially registered on September 4, 1928, three years before the paper was first published, to make an independent newspaper of the existing media where the Independent Newspapers group was seen as a supporter of Cumann na Gededal/Fine Gael, and The Irish Times > become pro-union, and with most middle-class or Protestant readers. Founder of Irish Press Amon de Valera says the aim of his paper is: "To provide the truth in the news, it will be the main goal of The Irish Press. The Irish Press will be an honest journal â € <â €
The money for launching The Irish Press was raised in the United States during the Irish Independence War by the impulse of bonds to finance the First Dail. The raised amount is $ 5 million ($ 55 million adjusted for inflation in 2011). However, 60 percent of this money is left in various banks in New York. No one could explain why ÃÆ' â € ° amon de Valera ordered most of the remaining money in New York when he returned to Ireland in late 1920. In 1927, as a result of legal action between the Irish Free State and Valera, the courts in New York ordered that bondholders be repaid because money was circulating to them. But de Valera's legal team had anticipated the decision and had prepared the results. A number of circulars were sent to bondholders who asked them to sign their ownership to de Valera. Bondholders are paid 58 cents against the dollar. This money is then used as the initial capital to launch The Irish Press . After the Irish Election 1933 de Valera used the majority of DÃÆ'¡il to pass the size allowing bondholders to be paid the remaining 42 percent of the money still owed.
Censorship by Free State Government
In December 1931, editor Frank Gallagher was sued by the Irish Free State military court for publishing articles stating that GardaÃÆ' had persecuted the Anti-Treaty republicans of the Irish state government. This was facilitated by the 17th Amendment Constitution of the Irish Free State and Gallagher was convicted and fined Ã, Â £ 50. An example of the hostility of those who supported the Independent Newspapers and the government of the Independent State was that The Irish Press was removed from a special train that sent newspapers from Dublin to the countryside.

Prominent figure
The newspaper was controlled by ÃÆ'â € ° amon de Valera and his family, and as a consequence, he supported Fianna FÃÆ'¡il consistently throughout his life, expressing a "national outlook" in safeguarding the minds and sentiments of his party's supporters. This paper is intended primarily for teachers and schools, with strong coverage of GAA and Irish games. Cearbhaill O'Dalaigh is the first Irish editor. The first editor was Frank Gallagher, who fought alongside ÃÆ' â € ° amon de Valera during the Irish Independence War. Its directors include Robert Barton.
SeÃÆ'¡n Lemass is the initial managing director. Major Vivion de Valera, the founding son, later became the managing director. De Valera is well known for the courtesy of those who run the business, which is thought to be going well. Shareholders are from Ireland and the United States. That was years before the dividend payout. Douglas Gageby worked on each of the press titles, The Irish Press , Evening Press (as the first editor) and The Sunday Press . Tim Pat Coogan, who began working for Evening Press, became editor of The Irish Press from 1968 to 1987. Derry-born James Patrick (Jim) McGuinness, editor from 1953 to 1957, brought in journalists such as Benedict Kiely, SeÃÆ'¡n White, and Brendan Behan as columnists when White left a dispute with management; White then became the headline in the broadcaster RT â € °.
Other people who have written for The Irish Press include the poet Patrick Kavanagh; broadcaster and journalist Vincent Browne, who became Red Editor from 1970 to 1972; Damien Kiberd who is the business editor; his brother, Professor Declan Kiberd, was a columnist with The Irish Press from 1987 to 1993; Catholic and feminist activist and journalist Mary Kenny; sports writer and founder of GOAL John O'Shea; novelist John Banville is Chief Sub-editor of Irish Press - other sub-editors including poet Hugh McFadden; historian Dermot Keogh, and Joyton critic Terence Killeen; T.

In the early days, it was circulated throughout Ireland by trains hired specifically because Independent Competition will not rent space on the train to The Irish Press. It continued with its own resources until Sunday Press was founded in the 1940s. In its heyday, The Irish Press has a number of first-rate reporters and columnists. An important piece, New Irish Writing edited by David Marcus.
Section 31 and Problems
In the 1970s, Post and Telegraph Minister, Conor Cruise O'Brien, attempted to use and amend the Emergency Power Act and Section 31 of the Broadcasting Governing Law, to censor the scope of the Problems in Northern Ireland. Editor Press , Tim Pat Coogan, publishes an editorial that attacks the bill.
The Fine Gael/Labor Coalition government is trying to prosecute The Irish Press for its coverage of the persecution of republican prisoners by the "Heavy Gang" Guard, with the paper winning the case.
Additional title
Then, Irish Press started two more newspapers, Evening Press (1954), and Sunday Press . The Evening Press is intended for urban readers and achieves a daily circulation of 100,000. Terry O'Sullivan, pen name Tomas O'Faolain, author's father and journalist Nuala O'Faolain, was given a car and driver and wrote a social column. New newspapers subsidized The Irish Press when the circulation slumped. The use of tabloid formats does not save the declining circulation.
Earlier one of Ireland's major daily newspapers, his business failures left clear ground for his old rivals, Irish Irish and Irish Independent to dominate the daily market for several years until competitors others were introduced.
Last days
The final issue of Irish Press and Evening Press was on Thursday, May 25, 1995. The newspapers were closed due to a strange industrial dispute over the dismissal of group business editor Colm Rapple. The group has not been in a healthy financial state for several years. When it finally closed, with debts of £ 20 million, 600 people lost their jobs.
The 1988 relaunch of Irish Press as a tabloid did not help. In 1989, Ralph M. Ingersoll Jr. took a 50 percent stake in Irish Press Newspapers. Some attempts were made to relaunch the newspaper but this failed.
The Independent newspaper invested Ã, Â £ 1.1 million for a 24.9 percent stake in Irish Press Newspapers and has secured a loan of Ã, Â £ 2 million when its titles ceased publication. This recovered Ã, Â £ 1 million arising from allegations against loans when the Irish Press office in Burgh Quay was sold in 1996.
The last editor from 1987 to 1995, Hugh Lambert died after a brief illness on December 26, 2005.
Irish Press plc today
The company, Irish Press plc, stays there. Irish Press bought the Thom Directory for Ã, Â £ 355,000 in October 1999. The directors of the company were ÃÆ' â € ° amon De Valera (grandson of former Irish president who founded the newspaper) and Jimmy A. Lehenan. Vincent Jennings is the Chairman of 1992-2005. The company is experiencing diverse success with Thom's Directory . Since getting out of the newspaper business, these companies sometimes struggle to make a profit.
The Irish Press Group sponsored the trophy for the All Ireland Little Hurling Championship in 1949, the winners since then, were awarded the Irish Press Cup .
