132.—(1) Every passenger of a railway undertaking shall, on request by an officer or employee of a railway undertaking, produce, and if so requested, deliver up to the officer or employee a ticket showing that his or her fare is paid and, if the fare has not been paid, shall upon request—
(a) pay, to the officer or employee—
(i) his or her fare from the place where he or she started the journey by railway

But this is what has happened until now. IE changed their application of the law.
IE are only going to catch honest people at connolly anyone with a clue will say they got on in broom bridge.
Mark you've pointed out inconsistencies in what the IE posters say and what is the law,

You've seen BigNelly's post on Boards.ie where he claims he was allowed pay at the destination in Pearse in November.

IE's website claims the "booking" office at Rush and Lusk station has certain opening hours, I've regularly seen the office closed during these hours.

IE want to cop th e**** on and have a single consistent customer focused regard for their passengers.
If they are going to spout sh1te with regard to no ticket no travel then make sure every station is staffed for the entire time trains service that station.

They should also make sure their trains run. on time.
They should also after closing the line at weekends for more than a year to make stations accessible make sure they maintain the lifts.

they should also, after erecting a sign to point to the exit of a station, open the goddamn exit during the hours the newly erected sign says.

They should also consider posting notices of altered timetables outside locked station buildings so their customers can know why there is no train to get them into work until ten am.
They should also, if they alter the timetables, actually run the service they advertise in their alteration notice.

They should make it easy to for intending passengers to buy a ticket and not make them jump through hoops or take them a million miles out of their way to do so.

they should also punish people who intend to not pay for their journey.

They should at the very least employ managers to manage the company who can do so.
