The Irish Homestead was the weekly publication of the Irish Agricultural Organisation Society (IAOS). It was founded in 1895 by Horace Plunkett.
The aim of the paper was to push the objectives of the IAOS, setting up dairy co-operative societies and co-operative banks, and introducing co-operation among Irish farmers by proving the benefits obtainable through more economical and efficient management.
The newspaper was originally edited by Thomas Finlay, S.J., then by T. P. Gill and H. F. Norman.
It ceased publication in 1918, but was afterwards revived by amalgamating it with the "Irish Statesman", and in this format it continued, under the editorship of George William Russell, until 1930.
