The Dublin Gazette was published since 1705 with the final edition on January 27, 1922. It had been started in May 1689 under King James II but after his defeat in 1690 it was replaced by the "London Gazette" until 1705. The earliest surviving copy, of issue number 84, is dated 9th February 1706, which is held in the library of Trinity College Dublin. In 1921 the Belfast Gazette was published for the then newly created Northern Ireland to publish material relevant to its government.
Prima facie evidence on notices of government business are published in the newspaper, these include orders, rules and proclamations. The paper is published on Tuesdays and Fridays and is available online as well as hardcopy by the Office of Public Works.
