Donald, the free train travel for over 66′s was an initiative of Tourism Ireland and was for limited availability in 2010 only. The current rail offer for Senior Citizens covers discounted return rail tickets. See link below:

As you are not travelling till May 2012, it would be worthwhile to keep a lookout on the Discover Ireland website to see if there are any new initiatives for 2012.

Kind regards,
Helen
