This guy played a slightly different version of something known as gaping, have a ticket valid at each end but not the middle. Done properly at rush hour its almost 100%, i.e. this guy need only have bought a Blackrock - Booterstown 7 day ticket to completely avoid the RPU.
Irish Rail knew about the issue with point to point since we told them. They had to refund a very honest passenger who added credit to a point to point to use it on the DART, credit was never deducted...
