Irish Times Website

Dundalk Daily

Is there any way to access ireland.com free as Im doing some research and cant really afford to pay the subscription costs. Maybe someone would share a password with me for about a week or so.

€2 for 24hrs or €7 for one week or €14 for one month... That's affordable, dude.

Dundalk Daily

well dude to be honest I dont have 7 quid or even a credit card, joys of student life eh:mad:

Karoma

You can pay from your mobile phone.

Dundalk Daily

Karoma, thanks for your help but as I said no mon no fun ...

If you have some credit on your mobile you can sign up for 24 hours and get the research done in one go; other than that I'm afraid you don't have much of a choice.
If it's not publication specific you'll find a great searchable archive on Guardian.co.uk, or if it has to be Irish then the Independent has a free one too; to the best of my knowledge them and the Examiner are the only daily nationals with a free archive, but they're not very well structured at all tbh.

Flogen thanks for that, appreciate the help.

Maybe check your college library's database to see if they've a subscription to Lexis Nexis. I used it for my thesis last year.

Your collage may have access to the Ireland.com, mine does. But I think a few too many people may have the username and password to go passing it on to other people.

The 'paper of record' phrase really started to ring true when using the Times' archive the other day.

All the major colleges do so this is your best bet.

(LexisNexis is a newspaper archive. You can get up all articles from the Irish Times going way back over more than a decade, probably further)

Premium rate number I think; I've only used it once, ages ago... but it's the usual basic principal; you text a number that costs e2, they send you a code that lasts for 24 hours...
