The Irish Unionist Alliance formerly the Irish Loyal and Patriotic Union, launched Notes from Ireland in 1886, undoubtedly as a direct response to the outcome of the 1886 election, and in advance of the launch of the Plan of Campaign in October 1886. The publication survived until 1938 

Produced by Irish Unionists, from their offices in 109 Grafton Street, Notes from Ireland was not a typical style newspaper and its target audience was not the Irish public but others living outside Ireland whos political views, and actions, they regarded as critical for the maintenance of the Union. 

Its early issues carried, under the masthead, a mission statement: A record of the sayings and doings of the Parnellite Party in the furtherance of their “Separatist” policy for Ireland; and of facts connected with the country. For the information of the Imperial Parliament, the Press, and the Public generally. It is hoped that the “sidelights” now presented may have some effect in producing a better understanding of things Irish than has hitherto been manifested by those amongst whom the “Notes From Ireland” circulate.
