I wouldn't suggest that it is a realistic stand-alone price, but it is common practice in most businesses to offer a discounted add-on to a more expensive product. A discounted leap ticket for Dublin would make a family outing to Dublin by train a lot more attractive and would attract business to Intercity services that has effectively zero marginal cost of sale.
