Just seen this on the Irish findmypast site, will have to check whether it is on UK findmypast with world sub yet:

I don't think they are on the UK site yet, but of course you can search for free on the Irish site and you will get a free snippet of the story.

They have announced this on the UK site now and I can search, but when I try to view an article it makes me log in again and then takes me to the subscription options, although I do have a full UK sub at the moment, so I take it that they are not included in the UK sub. Also then when I try to navigate back to their home page, it keeps taking me to the subscription options page instead which is quite annoying. I had to log off and log back in again to get away from this.

Having got back on, I can't see anything in their announcement which states that you need a world sub to access the Irish newspapers, in fact it invites you to go and search them now, so I find that quite misleading. http://www.findmypast.co.uk/content/news/irishnews

I'm getting this message when I try to view the newspaper records so maybe its a glitch??

It's letting me read the Irish newspapers, and I only have the full UK sub.

Did you have any credits left? It isn't eating them up, is it? It still makes me log in again and then takes me to the subscription options page.

Oops, you may be right. I'll go and check.

Thanks, Val. I still think they should have made this clear in their announcement on the UK site.

so do I ,I really was hoping to find somebody but not sure I want to pay more than the sub I already have.
