The Irish Press was an Irish newspaper published by Irish Press plc between 1931 and 1995. The newspaper was controlled by Eamon de Valera and his family, and as a consequence, supported Fianna Fail consistantly throughout its life.

Later, the Irish Press started two further newspapers, the Evening Press, and the Sunday Press.

The final issue of the Irish and Evening Press' was on Thursday, May 25th, 1995. The newspapers closed over a bizzare industrial dispute over the sacking of the Group Finance Editor. It is generally acknowledged that the newspapers had not been in a healthy financial state for several years. A relaunch in 1988 of the Irish Press as a tabloid did not help matters.

The company, Irish Press plc, remains in existance. Its main activity is a shareholding in an Independent Local Radio franchise, Tipp FM.
