Foinse (pronounced [ˈfˠɪn̠ʲʃə]; Irish for "Source") was an Irish-language newspaper in Ireland.

The owner, Pádraig Ó Céidigh, announced that he and the funding body, Foras na Gaeilge, could not agree on the terms of a new contract.

[2][3] Publishing resumed in 2009, however, with a new distribution model which was independent of Foras na Gaeilge.

[6] Foinse's content included stories about the Gaeltacht and the Irish language, coverage of current affairs, sport, travel, business and education, reviews, editorial pieces and sections for Leaving Certificate students (Foinse sa Rang) and children (Foinse Óg).

The paper also had a page for adult learners in conjunction with Conradh na Gaeilge and carried TG4 listings each week.
