The Carlow Nationalist is an Irish regional newspaper, published each Wednesday. It has three comprehensive sections, containing news, sport and 'living' articles.
[edit] History
The first edition of The Nationalist and Leinster Times was published on Browne Street, Carlow in 1883. It later moved to 58 Dublin Street and then to its offices Tullow Street, which the newspaper occupied until December 2005 [2]. Between 1921 and 1996, The Nationalist was Carlow's sole regional newspaper. [3]
During the construction of the newspaper's new offices in Hanover House, they used a space formerly occupied by a gym in Carlow Shopping Centre. The Nationalist moved into its new premises in spring 2007.
