Re Travelling 'backwards' getting to destination and charge for same.
Example:
Charleville Dep 1258; Mallow Arr 1315;
Mallow Dep 1352; Heuston ARR 1620.
Seat Reservation Planner charge 43 Euro. ('backwards' journey).

Charlveille Dep 1507 direct Heuston Arr 1715.
Seat Reservation Planner charge 43 Euro.

The above are FACTS according to the IR website, so it must be true!!!

So long as the IR website shows the same fare for a journey whether it's a 'backwards' one or not the passenger is NOT required to pay anymore even if challanged by the checker.
It's time for IE management to instruct its checkers of this FACT.
