IRISH INDEPENDENT, Ireland

     IRISH INDEPENDENT is an Irish daily newspaper formed in 1905, and online publication via Independent.ie, which is owned by Independent News & Media (INM) who are a subsidiary of Mediahuis.
     For most of its history, IRISH INDEPENDENT (also called simply the INDEPENDENT or more colloquially, the INDO) was seen as a nationalist, Catholic, anti-Communist, newspaper, which gave its political allegiance to the Pro-Treaty party Cumann na nGaedheal and later its successor party, Fine Gael. During the Spanish Civil War, the Irish Independent's coverage was strongly pro-Franco; the paper criticised the De Valera government for not intervening on behalf of the Spanish Nationalists.
    The newspaper version often includes glossy magazines.
