Irish Freedom was launched in November 1910, as an Irish monthly publication of the Irish Republican Brotherhood movement. It lasted for four years until suppressed in 1914 by the British.[1]
The name Irish Freedom was later to resurface as Saoirse Irish Freedom in May 1987 after the Republican Bulletin, the official paper of the Republican Sinn Féin, changed its name.[2]
