Irish Independent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | It was re-launched in the early 20th century as the Irish Independent under William Martin Murphy, a controversial Irish businessman remembered largely for his part in the 1913 Lockout industrial dispute in Dublin. |
 | | For most of its history, the Irish Independent (also called simply the Independent or, more colloquially, the Indo) was seen as a right-wing, nationalist, catholic newspaper, which gave its political allegiance to Cumann na nGaedhael and later its successor party, Fine Gael. |
 | | Its enemies accuse the Independent Group of holding an 'unhealthy dominance' of the Irish newspaper market, all the more so since the closure of the Irish Press Group in the early 1990s; with the closure of the Evening Press, the Independent's Evening Herald is now the only Irish national evening newspaper. |
