EasyPass at M8 toll - free?

I used the M8 while driving from Cork to Dublin last night (Sunday). I handed my money to the cashier. He asked if I had EasyPass (I do) and then returned my money and let me through. I thought that NTR and the M8 operators were in discussions about putting EasyPass detectors at the M8 toll booths. :confused:

According to the Eazypass website, it can only be used in Northlink (Drogheda), Eastlink and Westlink.

I have PassDirect electronic toll (used for M8). It's supposed to beep when the toll is deducted but it never beeps for me as I sail through the express lane. There aren't any barriers, so I just keep going anyway.

It did beep in the past before the express lane was open as I approached the toll booths.

I dont think they've quite got the hand of the electronic tolling on the M8 just yet.
