The Free Press newspaper

I'm trying to find out about The Free Press newspaper in Ireland, it's origins and political bias? It was definitely being published in 1923, maybe it went under another name, I don't know. Any information would be appreciated.

There was a newspaper called "The Free Press" published in Wexford in 1923 until about 1970 or 1971. In 1923, it was described as being "Volume 35" which would mean that the newspaper started about 1888 or thereabouts. Could this be it?
