CIE

  • Cash transactions will be processed in Irish pounds until the end of 2001
  • From 1 January 2002 to 9 February 2002, Irish currency will be accepted, as will euro. Change will be given in euro at booking offices
  • After 9 February 2002, only euro will be accepted
  • In order to help ensure that buses and trains are not delayed because of the changeover, CIE requests customers to:
        - Buy commuter tickets or other special pre-paid tickets well in advance
        - Tender exact amount of fare, particularly on buses and at DART stations
        - Allow extra time to buy rail tickets, or buy tickets in advance of travel
        - Tender one currency only, in payment for fares.

Information
Starting in September 2001, the CIE companies will conduct a public awareness campaign to inform customers of the details of their changeover arrangements. These details will also be available on the CIE suite of websites; www.irishrail.ie, www.buseireann.ie, www.dublinbus.ie
