    I'm just wondering about this. Can you buy a ticket for say Dublin Connolly but get off first at Maynooth and then get another train from Maynooth to Dublin Connolly a few hours later. Thank you.

    In other words, it has to be a ticket purchased at the booking office.

    8.1 Except as may be specified in the publications and notices of and applicable to Iarnród Éireann, the holder of an single ticket may break his or her journey at intermediate stations on any route for which the ticket is valid within the period of validity of the ticket.

    8.2 Except as may be specified in the publications and notices of and applicable to Iarnród Éireann, the holder of an return ticket may break his or her journey at intermediate stations on any route for which the ticket is valid, provided the journey is completed within the same calendar day, except where the timetable does not permit, in which latter case the journey must be completed on the next available service.

    Buy a ful fare intercity ticket and yes you can

    Edit: This forum has a post that says Maynooth is an exception http://www.railusers.ie/forum/showthread.php?t=3021

    A full fare intercity ticket works

    A Maynooth to Bray (e.g. a suburban fare) can't break a trip
