I think with something like this it'd probably be fairly easy to set up a new rival site. A lot of people use it because it's free. €100 would put people off completely.

It's a very steep charge to be introduced by new owners The Irish Times

RIP The Irish Times. This is the final nail in the coffin ⚰️

Stop posting notices there, set up a Facebook page and post there for free.
The last death notice on https://RIP.ie will be for the site itself.

I'm sure funeral directors aren't shy about slapping on fees and extras when people are most susceptible to pay for them.

Was always going to happen once it was bought out by the Irish Times and it would’ve been the same if anyone else bought it.

I thought the same Locky. The Irish Times were always going to monetise it. It's a pity.
