    I've bought Dublin-Kilkenny and Dublin-Waterford for the same price online as I could have done in the station.

    EDIT: Though have you seen their site at all ?

    Not helpful for the OP, booking must be a week in advance as per your quote.

    Bit late now, but if you're travelling again, bring a passport sized photo and buy a Weekender card for 7 euro, you can then buy a Weekender ticket at a greatly reduced rate (seems to be student rate or thereabouts), valid outbound Fri-Sun and returning on or before the Tuesday. You'll make the 7 euro back on just one trip, and the card is valid for a year. You can usually just get the card from the ticket desk (in Connolly and Heuston anyway, not sure about smaller stations).
