The ticket is handy to have for the year. However, the non-smart cards are so much hassle had mine changed 3 times. Few times in the morning when trying to get through the barriers i have been abused by Irish rail staff. One who told me to use my f***ING head and put the ticket through. Complained to Irish rail who dont seem to care about the fact that it is their fault that the new machines were not fit for use.
