The Irish People (newspaper)

The Irish People was a weekly newspaper published in Dublin from 1848 to 1865. It served as a platform for Irish nationalist perspectives, advocating for independence and social justice during a tumultuous period of Irish history. Known for its passionate reporting, it covered political events, protests, and issues affecting Ireland, especially during the Great Famine. The paper was often targeted by authorities due to its radical stance and was subsequently suppressed multiple times. Despite this, it played a significant role in shaping Irish nationalist sentiment and remains an important historical source for understanding 19th-century Irish political activism.
