Default Longford-Dublin weekly ticket prices?

I drive from longford to dublin and return each day and with the rising cost of fuel i'm thinking of taking the train from now on.

After looking at irishrail.ie for weekly and monthly ticket price's but i can't find any info on there,so i'm just wondering does anybody on here know the prices of a weekly and monthly return from longford-connolly?

You definitely need to look into Taxsaver if your work can arrange it as it costs half as much if you are on top rate tax.

I've been commuting from Edgeworthstown for nearly 8 years now. I never even considered using the car but I am within walking distance of Connolly which makes the commute a lot more viable.

My total cost is about 1700 euro per annum for the ticket plus 400 for parking. I have been using the same car for station runs for the last 5 years and it was 9 years old when I started so you can ignore the depreciation of a car for all practical purposes.
