I guess 2 pages is still a challenge for the average Sun reader.

Wow... a printed newspaper... that's a blast from the past. Did you know you can access all the newspapers online free of charge via the public library if you have a library card... which one would assume a man who still gets his fingers blackened reading the news has!

... or do you just buy the hard copy for special editions and suchlike?

I have it online (just for the simplex x word, too stupid, or lazy, for crossaire), + complimentary NYT, also took an annual sub to Haaretz.

Have a library card, and an online sub to the IT, but can't find the free option for the online IT on the Dun Laoghaire library website. I know that the physical paper is available to read within the library premises.

Maybe you have to do it from a computer inside the library?

A lot of the IT has gone a bit click bait IMO.

All this bollox like ....what holiday home can you buy for 500k in Wexford compared to Italy..

5 homes under 750k..get fukked

I absconded to Australia because Ireland is a dump...but I still miss the banter.Now I can't afford to move back to home.How is the government going to help me?

I just caught my husband having sex with a man.. could my husband be gay?

Etc etc etc

Anyway it's not worth a subscription but if you need to read anything on it click on the article then back out and turn your phone to airplane mode and the  relevant article will read properly without a sub.

Save yer money for crypto..

You need the app from the link posted above.

No. It works anywhere even during pandemics.

Edit: I think you're right as far as The Irish Times is concerned. It's not on my Fingal Borrowbox list anymore.

Had a look at my old Kindle... They used a different app during COVID '19 anall called Pressreader. I'm pretty sure one could take the Times on that but it mighta just been for COVID '19 anall... I've lost my library card now so I can't see if that one still works - I'm guessing it doesn't but if you have a library card to hand you could give it a try. IIRC you had to select Dublin City as your library but it accepted cards from any Irish library. I never really got used to it... my little Kindle screen was too small for a newspaper really but it was handy for the Fingal Independent which is only published online these days.

Public wake to be held for musician Glen Hansard

Quote
A public wake will be held for Glen Hansard in Dublin on Bank Holiday Monday followed by his funeral on Tuesday.

... A public wake will be held for Hansard in the Baroque Chapel at IMMA, Royal Hospital Kilmainham, on Monday 3 August between 11am and 4pm.  Hansard will lie in repose for those wishing to pay their respects.

The funeral will take place the following day at St Patrick's Cathedral in Dublin city centre at 1:30pm.  While the funeral will also be open to the public, access inside the cathedral will be limited given the numbers expected.  Music at the funeral will be provided by Hansard's friends and family.

The funeral will also be broadcast on the RTÉ News channel.

You might get someone famous in your taxi  :o :o :o

I'll have to look up where Killiney is on the map, just in case  :P
