Well that's what I don't understand, I've only recently started the weekly ticket instead of the monthly and only since then I was asked for ID. It's only when you buy it that you're ever asked for it, cos I deliberately don't show it with my ticket just to see am I ever asked, and of course I'm not. Coming up to Christmas I gave some weekly tickets to my mam and sisters etc when they were doing their shopping and they had no problems and weren't asked for ID.
When I stopped using my annual ticket and it was out of date, I deliberately showed that for a good 2 months every day before eventually a Dublin Bus driver copped it was out of date and he was the only person to ask to see a valid ticket (which I always had!). Not one member of IE staff ever noticed.
