    Hi,
    If anyone has a current sub, could I be so bold and ask for a lookup?
    Searching for any articles on the Railway fatality in Co. Limerick in May 1917? Pm me for more details.

    I am going to take out another sub later later in the year when I have more time for research:)

    Had a look using your details as a search, returned nothing. This was searching all papers. I also have access it the Irish Times. May 19 1917 edition of Irish Times has one line about a farmer being killed by a train from Limerick to Cork, his name was Daniel Flynn.

    Aww, lost it again. Oh well, I got some interesting stuff, but I would have loved to keep going. Hope there's another freebie soon, fingers crossed.

    I thought it was Irish Newspaper Archive that was closing when first I read it.
    Are they one and the same company?

    oops I may have jumped the gun there, looks like irishnewspapers.com are different :o

    Now I see they're offering 1916 papers for free on the INA site, so no need to panic it seems...

    But it does say the newspapers found on this site are available at Irish Newspaper Archive.

    Irish Newspapers was a US-aimed version of the site I thought?
