FYI: 'The Irish Times' free online at irishtimes.com from Monday

I read the article on Saturdays IT.

I found it very badly drafted and confusing!

Is there a summary of the key points to be had anywhere?

It read like an internal memo (full of management speak) and was definitely not written with customers/potential customers in mind.

If they prefer, they can join the new Irish Times Crossword Club - to be introduced on Monday - and access our digital archive dating back to the foundation of the newspaper in 1859, for the same period

Typical of the Irish Times, they make a bad decision (i.e. charging fees for subscriptions for online access to their paper), it rebounds badly on them (over 90% of existing "free" subscribers opt not to pay) and it still takes them the guts of a decade to reverse it :(
