What the problem you're having?

[ccos]

I can't select any train when the list comes up I tried clicking in a few different fields , if I click on the t thing I just get a new window telling me about the ticket, I've bought hundereds of plane tickets on line numerous different airlines so I don't think I'm completely usless with a computor

Make sure you have selected the reservation option on the home page, otherwise it won't show the tick boxes to select first and standard tickets on the specific trains

Not all journeys are possible online

[ccos]

No reservations possible on this journey, Dublin mullingar.
so its not possible to buy a ticket online then?

Based on ads in today's Indo it appears that these fares are finishing at the end of this month.

Tuesday 30th is the last day, Irish Rail finally bothered to update the website

[Jferb]

Booked a Dublin-Tralee fare for next Monday for €16 a few hours ago. Just after checking the price again now and it's €20! So it seems they're keeping the discounted services but just hiking the fares a bit (which isn't unreasonable)?! Except, no notice of the new discounted fares on the website now but that would suggest this is going to be a continuing long-term promotion??

Someone was a bit slow off the mark in the IT department. . .

So the discounted fares have gone up by 15-25%, similar to the annual ticket increases
