Well, prices are controlled by the government, and there's a price cap on travel in the short hop zone (the area bounded by Balbriggan, Kilcoole, Hazelhatch and Celbridge, and Maynooth). So a single ticket from Kilcoole to Balbriggan, at an extreme, is €3.80.

Same situation applies in Cork/Cobh line.

Cork/Mallow, however, is an Intercity double-track journey, which is the most expensive fare category.
