    Anyone know where I can find these for laytown to various stops to Dublin

    Fed up of being stung at the station. If I knew before I travelled it wouldn't annoy me as much!

    Are they published or do I need to email them?

    Thanks

    How are you stung at the station? A simple phone call to IR could answer your query.

    Thanks victor

    That's what I was looking for. I don't travel often to Dublin, probably once a month and when I do I could get off at various stops (malahide/skerries or Dublin city) etc.. So it's nice to know the price before travelling

    I dont think it's too much for IR to publish prices for their fares online. Why should you only have the option to ring or get to the station and then find out the price (as in I can see only Dublin published, not the various stops which can actually be dearer to travel to even though they aren't as far)

    Note that there are two fares zones involved - Dublin commuter and Intercity, with Balbriggan as the boundary. On intercity journeys you are allowed to break your trip on a single/return ticket, but not on commuter ones.

    Laytown-Balbriggan is about €5.60 single and €10.30 day return.
    http://www.railusers.ie/passenger_info/fare_calc_2012.php?station_from=LTOWN&station_to=BBRGN&stage1=Submit+Query

    You can then get a one-day short-hop zone ticket for about €9 which allows as many trips as you like on the same day between Balbriggan-Kilcoole/Hazelhatch/Maynooth/Dunboyne.
