Joint Oireachtas Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport

All-Island Strategic Rail Review: Iarnród Éireann

Mr. Jim Meade:

I do not believe we are out-pricing ourselves. I will have to take the Deputy through the website again, but he can get a family ticket for €100, not more. There is 20% coming off that shortly as well thanks to the Minister, Deputy Eamon Ryan. It is getting very cheap very quickly. Compared to across Europe or across the UK, our fares are very cheap. They are governed by the NTA. I do not believe we are pricing people out of it. It is an ongoing issue and no matter what fare one has, people would always like it to be a little less.
