Anois (Irish: Now) was an Irish-language weekly newspaper, published in Dublin, Ireland, by Gael Linn from September 1984 until June 1996. [1] It was the first newspaper in the Irish language to appear in full-colour tabloid format. [2] It focused primarily on Irish language issues, and included regular columns on sport and entertainment, as well as sections for children and learners. [1]

Anois replaced two other Irish-language newspapers, Inniu and Amárach , [3] and was itself replaced by Foinse in October 1996. [4] It was financed by Roinn na Gaeltachta, as well as by sales and advertising. [5] In 1986 its circulation stood at around 5,600, [6] and about 4,500 in 1989. [7]
