Alternatively the department of social protection could actually pay a market price for the free travel scheme

700,000 passes, annual budget 70 odd million, only 100 euro per pass

Irish Rail passenger numbers actually are fairly stable, between 37 and 38 million, Dublin Bus is in serious trouble on that front, but then again Dublin Bus lost passengers even in the boom time while Irish Rail climbed massively
