The Irish People (Sept. 1899 - Nov. 1903 and 30 September 1905 – 27 March 1909) was a newspaper published in Cork by William O'Brien, MP (not to be confused with William Smith O'Brien). The paper supported the United Irish League and land reform. The paper was edited by Tim McCarthy, and later by John Herlihy. Other contributors were Nationalist MP D.D. Sheehan. O'Brien went on to publish the Cork Free Press, with Herlihy as editor.
