The problem is I can do Dun Laoghaire Blackrock, get out, then Blackrock Pearse, it will be charged as two journeys with no discount. If I did same with bus I would get a discount

More realistic example is Clondalkin - Heuston - Connolly - Howth

Leap treats Clondalkin Heuston and Connolly Howth as two distinct trips with no discount, but the Luas will show a discount. Brave man to try not tagging out in Heuston and not tagging on in Connolly to see what happens.

In theory as you go Irish Rail - Luas and then Luas - Irish Rail it should give you a discount on Connolly Howth but I wouldn't bet on it

Cash
4.70 + 1.80 = 6.50

Leap
2.41 + 1.44 + 2.41
Less 2 euro
4.26

But if I walk Heuston - Connolly I would not get the 90 discount
4.82

Leap without tagging off/on HN/CY (as there is a legal fare code within Irish Rail, impossible but need to compare with old through ticketing option)
3.49 +1.44
Less 1 euro
3.93

Fare via Phoenix Park Tunnel
3.49

Anywhere else in the world this would be considered a single journey of X zones regardless of changes made
