Default NTA approved fare zones

Can anyone let me know if Rail Users Ireland is one of the groups who the NTA consult about fare zones ?

Does anyone know if the NTA have plans to change the city centre zone to include Grand Canal Dock & Lansdowne.

Getting a daily return ticket from Donabate to Pearse costs €5.80 but then jumps by €3.40 to €9.20 for the extra stop to Grand Canal or Lansdowne.

With the same ticket I could then go to any stop on the Short Hop zone, all the way to Bray if I wanted It's a crazy increase in fare for what are city centre stops for thousands of people every day

The crazy thing is that if Lansdowne & Grand Canal were brought into the city centre zones and the fares adjusted to a reasonable level then the level of fare evasion would drop and Irish Rail probably wouldn't be at a nett loss for the change !!
