Evening Press

Inactive Defunct The Evening Press was an Irish newspaper which was printed from 1954 until 1995.

It was set up by Éamon de Valera's Irish Press group, and was originally edited by Douglas Gageby.

It retained a loyal following due in part to the popularity of columnists such as sports writer Con Houlihan, although it struggled to generate advertising revenue.

It also featured the prolific cartoonist, Till (George O'Callaghan) who published nearly 10,000 cartoons in the paper between 1956 and 1992.

Other journalists who worked for the paper were the award-winning journalist and author Clare Boylan, Seán Cronin (sub editor), Matt Farrell (deputy editor) who also went under the pseudonym Sir Ivor with racing tips, Ed Moloney, the financial journalist Des Crowley, Sean McCann, former senator John Horgan and Vincent Browne.
