The ticket will have IFB, IFS, LUAS on it if it doesn't its not Luas valid, its important to be sure since it can be hit and miss. Without knowing that its hard to judge
Where it gets confusing is there are 2 sets of fare zones one for intercity and one suburban

Its a no brainer but try selling it to the RPA? The equilvent in Belfast before 1995 was actually operated under contract for NIR given Cullen that won't happen in Dublin

It doesnt cost any extra to go to Pearse or Grand Canal than Connolly

There is a city centre station on the ticketing matrix, Pearse Tara and Connolly are grouped as one but in the absence of a physical zone on a map its ambiguous and confusing. If you live southside and ask for Pearse the ticket 99.9% of the time is issued to Connolly I assume the northside gets the same deal
The root of the issue is DB and RPA have to get money out of it, solution is very simple all the ills integrated ticketing the whole gig is as simple as a slightly dodgy circle drawn on a map centered on College Green
