The normal cash fares for most routes are ridiculous particularly when you compare single and returns
Its trivial to find the cheapest flight for a given set of dates, its nigh on impossible to find the cheapest train unless you check each train individually and even then there are fares outside the online system such as the day saver return from Cork which only comes into play if you seek a return journey which is even harder to price online
If you find the cheap seats (which do exist) you get excellent value and under far more reasonable T&C's than the airlines, but as always with Irish Rail its the communication and information that is lacking
