The Nationalist is a newspaper based in Clonmel in County Tipperary, Ireland, which was established in 1890.
It is a broadsheet newspaper that appears weekly, covering news, events, and sport in both Clonmel town and south Tipperary. It had a circulation of over 14,000 in 2010.[1] It was formed to represent the views of the Irish nationalist community in County Tipperary, which led to the first editor being jailed under a Coercion Act on charges that he had intimidated a cattle dealer for taking a farm from which tenants had been evicted. It supported the Anglo-Irish Treaty, which led to the paper being shut down by Séumas Robinson during the Irish Civil War.[citation needed]
The paper is owned by Iconic Newspapers, which acquired Johnston Press's titles in Ireland in 2014.[2]
As of early 2011, The Nationalist reportedly had a circulation of approximately 13,000 copies.[3]
