It was published from 13 Fleet Street, Dublin, and published during the 1916 Rising. The author and future editor of the Irish Press Frank Gallagher worked as a journalist for the New Ireland. Others who made contributions to the content of the New Ireland included James McNeill (brother of Eoin, and second Governor-General of the Irish Free State) and Laurence Patrick Byrne. The paper would have supported the Irish Parliamentary Party but became more pro-Sinn Féin as time went on. The paper supported a number of charity initiatives such as the Dublin Infant Aid Society.[3]
