Also remember that same-day break of journey is permitted under the IÉ conditions of carriage, for Intercity journeys (not Commuter/DART). So it is perfectly acceptable to buy Dublin-Cork, get off at Thurles and get a later train Thurles-Cork.

This is OK on a single journey and in both directions of a return.

I've never had problems in doing this (it doesn't happen that often) but few people I've mentioned it to are aware that it is possible without formality, and English passengers tend to assume it's not (cause a lot of UK tickets specify no break of journey or break on return trip only).
