It's a long shot but have you tried FOIing the What's the Fare? booklet? The DoT might have one deposited.

You can get most of the InterCity fares ex Heuston as well as all Enterprise fares from an ROI station from the online booking tool.

True but FOI takes way long time and costs a bunch. The online system can't cope with a number of destinations, try Dublin Drogheda or Dundalk

What we are interested is in those fares the online system doesn't like such as Mullingar - Arklow

A lot of the discounted fares don't appear in the online system

Our version they would

If anyone knew the fare prices (day return and 5 day return)for Cork-Dublin I'd be eternally greatful.

Where in Dublin City Centre will you leave your car for less than 15.30 per day?
ignoring diesel or petrol costs.

[Mark Gleeson]

Cork Dublin fares are (emphasise these are not the same as Dublin Cork)

€59.50 single
€33.00 single if bought online
€64.50 5 day return
€46.50 day return if you travel on any train from Cork Tues-Thurs + Sat but only if you get the 9:30 or later train otherwise its €64.50

[Thomas Ralph]

And for an extra €1.30 single €2.60 return your ticket is valid on bus routes 90-92 and the Red Luas in zone central 1, although that no longer provides an appreciable saving other than on the 92.

For Dublin Drogheda or Dundalk put Heuston as the start station and knock off the feeder service charge. Totally unuseful for the general public though...

Of course anything involving the non-reservable services which is more or less everything non-Enterprise out of Connolly is still not possible to get.

But that doesn't catch promotional fares to Connolly only!
