, the paper was the successor of ''An Caman'', also published in Dublin, which had ceased publication in June 1934.
["An Caman (Dublin) (II-III) (1933-1934), An Gaedheal (Dublin) (I-IV) (1934-1937)" in ''The Catholic Historical Review'', Vol. 33 (1948), p. 303]
The paper covered both national and international news and sought to oppose the Anglicization of Ireland by promoting the use of the Irish language. The first issue, dated 16 June 1934, priced at one penny, noted that its launch followed immediately the cessation of ''An Caman'', "… so that the marching ranks of Gaeldom should not go without a clarion voice to champion their cause."

The new publication took over some of the features of ''An Caman'', and also its writers, including "Bird of Boyle Roche".]["The Fight Goes on!", ''An Gaedheal'', 16 June 1934]
