Anois (Irish: Now) was an Irish-language weekly newspaper, published in Dublin, Ireland, by Gael Linn from September 1984 until June 1996.[1] It was the first newspaper in the Irish language to appear in full-colour tabloid format.[2] It focused primarily on Irish language issues, and included regular columns on sport and entertainment, as well as sections for children and learners.
Anois replaced two other Irish-language newspapers, Inniu and Amárach,[3] and was itself replaced by Foinse in October 1996.[4] It was financed by Roinn na Gaeltachta, as well as by sales and advertising.[5] In 1986 its circulation stood at around 5,600,[6] and about 4,500 in 1989.[7]
