On the nitelnk do you have to tag on at the driver console or is the right hand side validator setup to take a nitelink fare?

Both work, odds are I was the very first non RPA/DB person to use the leap card on a nitelink. Driver was a little puzzled, so the crash course in issuing a ticket was given in 10 seconds

Just one minor point on the bus, the 'City Centre Fare' is available on leap, on the drivers machine, its in a second menu (square button below the main buttons, 3/4th down 'Shopper Fare')

Given they called it LEAP...

Trial seems to be going well

The secret list of pay zone agents we have is longer than the official one. There are vastly more agents than this (over 400 when fully rolled out) but these are agents which we can confirm as working today.

Station House, Dundrum Luas Stop
Reynolds, Abbey St
Stanleys, Abbey St
Students Union Shop, Trinity College
Easons, Heuston Station

Centra, Ranelagh
Centra, Marine Rd Dun Laoghaire

Mace, South Circular Rd Rear of James Hospital

Londis, St Stephen's Green
Londis, 2-3 College Green
Londis, Westmoreland Street

Spar, Fairview
Spar, Swords
Spar, Tallaght Cross

Top up is limited to pay zone agents and Luas TVM's currently. Online and top up at Irish Rail TVM's is phase two

do you know when we'll be able to replace our existing Luas and IR cards with LEAP?

You don't have to in the short term. In fact, as there is limited functionality on Leap at the moment, e.g. no website to check transactions, better to keep your existing cards just for the moment.

Public roll-out should happen in the next few weeks.

leapcard.ie is now live.

I was able to setup a new account and register my leapcard.

I can now view my full travel history over the last 2 weeks since I got the card.

It also allows the public to order a new leap card.

It also allows the public to freely swap a Luas or Irish Rail card for a Leap card.

You can also order a topup for you card. Cause of how a smartcard works you have to nominate Luas or Irish Rail journey to have the credit applied. Or you can nominate a payzone agent. Easier for me to use Luas TVM as I take the bus mainly which isn't supported.

This is a really big and welcome step IMO.
