Mr Bovine mentioned how dear it is to get the train from cork to Dublin in one of the treads there but there is a way to save loads of cash. Get a student card, its easy. You can pick up a form in yuour local bus/train station or down load one on the net. Fill it out and go to one of the express stations that make you up the card then and there, no questions asked. Now there is an area on the form that has to be signed by the college you are going to but I filled it in my self. Now i am going to college but I can’t see how they can trace it back to rumble you and if they did the worst that could happen is that they would cancle the card down the line.
From Ennis to Dublin on the train its about 50 euro but with the card is about 22 euro. Also huge savings can be made if you book a train on the net, that trip would have cost me around 28 if i did it that way. The Card cost about 15 euro and they take your photo at the express stations for nothing. Heres the web site http://www.studenttravelcard.ie/ and the link is in the top right of the page. From what i can see i doesn’t give a list of the express stations on the web site but i does on the form you pick up at the train/bus station.
