There's another curious anomaly - the 'commuter' segments of the Dublin-Cork and Dublin-Dundalk lines are counted as express for Intercity fare calculation purposes but the Dublin-Maynooth section on the Dublin-Sligo line isn't.
In addition, the mileage calculations used for the Northern line are out of whack.
Drogheda-Dublin Pearse is a distance of around 53 kilometres by rail and should be counted as a class D fare (up to 64km) not a class E fare (up to 80km).
Dundalk-Connolly is 86 kilometres by rail and should be counted as a class F fare rather than a class G one.
This has an extremely negative effect on fares from those destinations - a single from Dundalk-Connolly should be €5 cheaper if the correct mileage is used.
Unless there is a secret Northern Line premium in their figures...
