Iris Oifigiúil
Iris Oifigiúil (Irish pronunciation: [ˈirʲəʃ ˈefʲəɡʲuːlʲ]; "Official Gazette") replaced the former Dublin Gazette on 31 January 1922 as the official newspaper of record of the Irish Free State, the state which has since become known as Ireland.
Iris Oifigiúil is sometimes referred to as the Irish State Gazette in English and has been issued twice weekly on Tuesdays and Fridays since 1922. Prima facie evidence on notices of government business are published in the newspaper, these include orders, rules and proclamations.
The paper is published as a hard copy by the Office of Public Works and is also now available online at its own web site, irisoifigiuil.ie.
While Iris Oifigiúil took over the functions of the former Dublin Gazette in the Irish Free State, in the newly created Northern Ireland the Belfast Gazette was established for the same purpose.
