I would hardly be quoting figures from a year ago in terms of a fares proposal for 2015. We need to see how the position has moved since then, given that the CIE Group have already received a large fare increase in 2014, wage restraint has been implemented (for over a year for the bus companies), and further cost reduction measures have been implemented, such as shorter trains.

My fear in all this is that the LEAP rollout and simplification of fares is resulting in excessive fare increases. The companies are being forced to bear the changes (such as the extension of child fares to 19 year olds) with no additional state funding.

If this is the case the NTA need to be tackled on it.
