The risk analysis done by Irish Rail rated the loss by fraudulent usage by adults to be significantly more than the revenue lost by the non availability of child tickets. Its not rocket science to review sales records and wonder why there are a more child tickets issued than adult
The scale of abuse was quite shocking, not one to accept Irish Rail's story without proof I did a little stake out at Pearse and witness several adults in the space of 5 minutes use child tickets.
To be fair the bulk of schoolchildren are now traveling on smartcards which charge child fares on weekends
