One thing I'll credit the RPA they don't duplicate so there is no english for Busaras and no Irish for Jervis. Irish Rail insist on generating names, this Dun Laoghaire place for instance which is then pronounced as Dunleary (which is actually a distinct townload 1km from Dún Laoghaire) Dún Laoghaire has no english version and I doubt anyone wants to call it Kingstown

The law says it must be in both, and it provides a very simple avenue of complaint when Irish Rail get it wrong

A pet peeve of mine is the announcement that "taxis are available in Eyre Square which is a 3 MINUTE walk from the station".

I suppose it might be three minutes from the far end of the platform
