Anois (Irish: Now) was an Irish-language weekly newspaper, published in Dublin, Ireland, by Gael Linn from September 1984 until June 1996.[1] It was the first newspaper in the Irish language to appear in full-colour tabloid format.[2] It focused primarily on Irish language issues, and included regular columns on sport and entertainment, as well as sections for children and learners.[1]

Anois replaced two other Irish-language newspapers, Inniu and Amárach,[3] and was itself replaced by Foinse in October 1996.[4] It was financed by Roinn na Gaeltachta, as well as by sales and advertising.[5] In 1986 its circulation stood at around 5,600,[6] and about 4,500 in 1989.[7]

One thought on “Cannabaceae

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
