    No, I tend to be interested in business or market news. There are just too many free sources out there, and much better then the generic stuff that the Irish papers pump out.

    A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer

    For archive material, yes. But only if it was less expensive (access to the Irish Times Archive costs almost €400 per year) and the contents were free from shoddy, barely usable DRM software (the Irish Times Archive is appalling in this regard) and could be downloaded as PDFs.

    I wouldn't pay to read a newspaper online. But at the same time, I can understand them not wanting to give away the entire contents of their print edition for free. I used to buy the Irish Times regularly until they removed the paywall on their website...
