Got weekender passes on Friday evening in Heuston. Even got my mugshot in the booth at the station which resulted in a nice terrorist style shot.
So €7 Weekend pass, €6 for 4 photos. So total cost €8.50.

Travelling from Portarlington to Athenry, return on Saturday, back on Sunday.
Went to ticket office -
'Two Weekenders to Athenry please'.
'€62.'
'No, Weekenders' pushed IDs under the partition.
'Sorry' - consults bit of green paper sellotaped on wall '€34'.

So that's a 45% saving. I've already made the cost back and more and its valid for a year.
And no one I've spoken to yet has ever heard of these. This is a disgrace, I know the onus is always on the customer to find the best deal but this offer is buried.
