Celtic Times
Ireland’s long lost newspaper was published to offer readers the first journal devoted to purely to Gaelic games. The Celtic Times did not have a long run first printed on the 1 January 1887 until the 14 January 1888. The Celtic Times was co-edited by Michael Cusack, founder of the Gaelic Athletic Association, and Scottish businessman by the name of A. Morrison Millar. There are very few editions of the Celtic Times available today. The newspaper is a very rare title, which can now be accessed through the Irish Newspaper Archive resource.

The Celtic Times provides detailed match reports and committee meetings at all levels in each edition. Michael Cusack used the newspaper to attract and encourage players to Ireland’s native sports. Much of Cusack’s writing was dedicated to Irish language, history and literature.
