Is irishtimes.com Legit?

The reporting is good and journalism is essential for developing democratic purposes, but the delivery service is dire.When you request something not to be delivered, they send it to you and then when you don't want it you get loads of it. It's a no win situation.

Irish times cut off my 74 year old husbands subscription online and direct debit after years of loyal custom. Endless effort to contact them knocked back by user deterring hurdles and no replies. Now he has given up after 40ish years a reader. But they are still taking the money. Sad modern times.

Re News delivery section.The delivery service that is being heavily promoted by The Irish Times is very poor. The paper isn't be delivered on the day but a few days later. No point in getting it.The paper itself is very good.

Really Poor "Journalism"These guys are the epitome of poor journalism. Every single day they push agenda after agenda. Actually i do not think they ever write a story which isn't trying to bring forward some sort of agenda. Whether is the constant barrage of pro-LBGT nonsense. Or whether its telling the Irish people to take in millions of migrants. Or if its telling our people they must become vehement feminists or we will all perish. Its article after article of complete nihilism towards all things Irish and all things natural. They seem to want to turn whats normal completely upside down. Its really pathetic. They recently acquired another newspaper which seemed to have some morals, so now Ireland doesn't have any real reliable impartial newspaper. Maybe opt for alternative media rather than this "premium", probably NGO sponsored rag. Wish there was less than 1 star because thats what they deserve. Extremely poor service, far too biased towards their obvious agendas. I wouldn't clean up sick with this newspaper.

I signed up for one of their subscriptions for my elderly father. Cancelled almost immediately and still waiting for a refund. Customer service is impossible to contact unless you call first thing in the morning. I received conflicting information from each agent I had spoken to, one even telling me she hadn’t time to send a confirmation email as she had 10 calls waiting. Very disappointing and poor service. Will be changing newspapers for my father after this experience.

I paid for the Irish Times delivery service For an elderly relative. It was specified that the paper be left in the porch. The service is very poor, some days it was never delivered, other times it was left at the gate in a puddle and was wet as the plastic cover was ripped. It has never been left in the porch.Repeated efforts to make contact via phone, email and Twitter have failed to get any response.It’s a very poor service and I can not recommend it.

What a disgrace. "Far right" is how you describe Irish protesting against a mass stabbing of children and women.Ah, but when BLM does it, it is "peaceful protest" and the "voice of the unheard".SHAME ON YOU.

Excellent paper in general, but I love the Culture section in particular. Donald Clarke and Tara Brady are the best and most reliable film critics I am aware of.

Dreadful service, signed up for my elderly parents in Ballymun, they didnt deliver 4 days out of 10, so cancelled it, avoid like the plague.

Have to email them to cancel a subscription, the app is terrible and feels like the same stories are coming up again and again

Don’t take out a digital subscription it only works occasionally…..more troube than its worth !

I had to give one star to write a review, the Irish times is not for the people of Ireland it only represents the political class and big business and ignores the people of Ireland

Not a true journalist among them a mouthpiece for the government
