Scholar 5-Day Ticket: Validity extended to Saturday 6th June for Leaving Cert students by Corporate Communications


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Iarnród Éireann has extended the validity of this week's Scholar 5-Day ticket, normally valid Monday to Friday only, to include Saturday 6th June, to facilitate Leaving Certificate students sitting the rescheduled English Paper II exam.

The Scholar 5-Day ticket is available to students over 16 years of age, in full-time second-level education, on the DART and Commuter network.

Students are advised that a normal Saturday timetable is in operation on Saturday 6th June, and to check Saturday times before travelling.

And not many people would have bought a five day ticket anyway — they would only have been planning on going in for three days, so they would have bought a cheaper three day ticket or (for B-level fares) day returns.
