    In the case of Irish Rail, the 2005 Transport Act is one such law with applicable byelaws that permit the company to inspect tickets and to issue standard fares for traveling without a valid ticket.
    Seems to me that back in 2005 the concept of an e-purse like Leap wasn't taken into account when drafting the legislation, not to mention any possible future technological advances. If in the future we can use our debit cards or even phones to pay for journeys, can they confiscate those too?

    Unless Leap and the NTA start issuing Samsung Galaxy's or Banks iPhone Visa then I guess not :)
