Fare evasion must be rife in the evenings

[Inniskeen]

Your previous post is interesting and would appear to highlight a degree of confusion and inconsistency on Irish Rail's behalf.

The following questions spring to mind

1) Is there an obligation on Irish Rail to provide through tickets from any station to any other station on their system ? Does this extend to stations on the Dublin/Belfast line north of the border ? Does it extend to all stations in Northern Ireland ? To the UK generally ? Elsewhere ?

2) Are children (accompanied or otherwise) entitled to board trains without a ticket at locations where child tickets can not be purchased ? Is this just an issue in the Dublin area or generally ?
