    Hello can anyone enlighten me as to the daily / weekly cost of travel from Balbriggan to Killester return each day with a student travel card?

    I am very confused by the Irish rail website.
    Thanks in advance.

    There are no student single/return fares.

    You would have to buy a student weekly rail only ticket for €23.20, monthly rail only for €76 or a student monthly short hop bus and rail (includes Dublin Bus) for €96.

    All of those tickets allow unlimited journeys on Irish Rail services between Balbriggan, Howth, Maynooth, M3 Parkway and Kilcoole, and Heuston to Hazelhatch.

    Would that include the dart or would I need to buy a serperate weekly pass for the dart?

    There is no direct train from Balbriggan to Killester as fas as I can see I would have to change at Malahide or howth Junction and get a dart train.

    Yes, it covers the DART so you don't need a separate pass for it.
