    Anyone know where online I can find the price of monthly or season tickets for iarnroid eireann? I'm considering commuting to Galway from Ballinasloe every day. I'm a student by the way, not sure if that makes a difference in the price or not.

    Your best bet is to fill this in

    or ask in Ballinasloe station.

    The taxsaver ticket is €1930 for an annual ticket or €193 for a monthly, though as a student you wouldn't be able to avail of this.

    There are no student annual tickets (that I'm aware of) and students can't buy taxsaver tickets because they're not paying tax. Of course, they're more than welcome to buy the regular annual tickets.

    OTOH, if a student had a part time job earning very little and bought a taxsaver ticket, I wonder if it's possible that their tax rebate would be more than the tax they pay? :)

    the taxsaver ticket is bought and paid for by the employer not the employee, the employer then subtracts the cost of the ticket (divided by the pay period ie weekly,fortnightly,monthly) from the gross wages of the employee. i couldn't imagine too many employers of part-time staff signing up to that.

    Any employee can have a TaxSaver ticket bought on their behalf.

    The rebate can't exceed the amount of Tax/PRSI/levies you pay. However, the employer could still save on their portion of the PRSI.

    While many part-time staff have low earnings, some are in what amount to high-paying full-time jobs.
