The Nationalist is a newspaper based in Clonmel in County Tipperary, Ireland which was established in 1890.

It is a broadsheet newspaper that appears weekly, covering news, events, and sport in both Clonmel town and south Tipperary. It has a circulation of over fourteen thousand in 2010. [1] It was formed to represent the views of the Irish nationalist community in County Tipperary, which led to the first editor been jailed under a Coercion Act on charges that he had intimidated a cattle dealer for taking a farm from which tenants had been evicted. It supported the Anglo-Irish Treaty, which led to the paper being shut down by Séumas Robinson during the Irish Civil War.[ citation needed ]

The paper is owned by Iconic Newspapers, which acquired Johnston Press's titles in the Republic of Ireland in 2014. [2]

As of early 2011, The Nationalist reportedly had a circulation of approximately 13,000 copies. [3]
