New OAP all-Ireland travel card

[Gordanus]

My mother read about this in the paper, and wants to know how to apply (long time since she got her original one!) Anyone know? Thanks

Hi, here's the link to the DSFA website for the All-Ireland travel pass

Social Welfare local offices are closed today (Good Friday) and Easter Monday - just to save you a journey!

benefits are only very slight, though. Existing travel card can be used to/from any destination in NI, provided tickets are obtained in ROI. But cannot be used for travel within NI e.g. Belfast to Derry

new card will allow travel point-to-point within NI
