Hi there, I'm trying to find out if there are any free sources for irish newspaper archives, regional and national. I'm aware of the Irish Times archive and Irish Newspaper Archive, but they cost almost €400 per year. If anyone has any intuitive or unorthodox solutions - you can pm them to me. regards, rosco.

The national Library. Every publication has to send each edition to the National Library - however - they are a little slow (last time i checked) in filing these.
