'An Claidheamh Soluis' (‘the sword of light’) was an Irish nationalist newspaper published by Conradh na Gaeilge (the Gaelic League). It was published as a weekly bi-lingual newspaper for the advancement of the Irish language. Eoin MacNeill was its first editor. He oversaw its publication from 1899 to 1901. In 1900 the League took control of the weekly bilingual paper 'Fáinne an Lae' (See CA/IR/1/8/1/1). This title was merged with 'An Claidheamh Soluis' and the newspapers appeared as 'An Claidheamh Soluis agus Fáinne an Lae'. The paper was later published under the names of 'Fáinne an Lae' (1918–9; 1922–30) and 'Misneach' (1919–22).

The file comprises the following editions: 28 June 1922 (no. 1) – 16 Mar. 1923 (no. 175). The series is missing a small number of editions but there are multiple copies of other issues extant in the file. The publication began with the attack on anti-treaty republicans in the Four Courts, and the publication focused on ways of conveying news of the changing situation to journalists, republican supporters and the general public. The first (un-numbered) edition was styled as a communiqué from Rory O’Connor, Major General, IRA. It read:
‘The boys are glorious, and will fight for their Republic to the end. How long will our misguided former comrades outside attack those who stand for Ireland alone?’ Reference is made in this first communiqué to Fr. Albert Bibby OFM Cap. and Fr. Dominic O’Connor OFM Cap. who were ministering to the besieged republicans.

The paper warns that ‘insidious attempts have been made within the last few days by the English King’s Provisional Ministers to spread the rumour that a truce had been achieved.

The editions were bound together with a note indicating that they belonged to ‘Rev. Fr. Sebastian [O’Brien OFM Cap.], Church Street’.
