Chip-and-pin has been known about for years, so it would be hard to believe that the makers of the IE and Luas machines aren't prepared for it.

Yeah, they have the same in the Netherlands (although don't get me started about Dutch trains, they are more frequent but far more irksome than ours). They also have a surcharge for paying using banknotes.
