The Irish Times is a leading daily broadsheet newspaper in Ireland, known for its quality journalism and progressive editorial stance. Established on March 29, 1859, it has evolved from its early roots as a Protestant nationalist paper to a publication that is considered liberal and progressive, while maintaining centre-right economic perspectives.

The newspaper covers a wide range of topics, including politics, business, culture, and international affairs, and has been home to prominent columnists such as Fintan O'Toole, Miriam Lord, and Garret FitzGerald. It is headquartered in Dublin, Ireland, and is published every day except Sundays.
