From RTÉ (and a journalist who can't spell Iarnród Éireann) with pictures and video here: http://www.rte.ie/news/2010/0827/cat.html

My cats are already pestering me for a season ticket...

Cat nips into town on trip

Friday, 27 August 2010 21:59

A cat with a hankering for the city lights has been reunited with its owner after taking a trip to Dublin on the DART.

Iarnróid Éireann sent out an appeal via Twitter seeking the owner of the cat, which had been found in Pearse Street train station.

Staff took care of the kitty and used CCTV footage to trace where she had begun her journey.

It turned out that the cat had got on at Malahide station and travelled into the city centre.

After the rail company sent out its appeal for the cat's owners, the lucky cat was reunited with her owner Eric Bieci, who thanked everyone involved.

After dodging the fare, Lilou has been issued with a rail card by Iarnród Eireann for any future journeys she wishes to take.

Does everyone in Ireland wrongly call Pearse station 'Pearse Street station'?

When I first started going to Dublin in the early '90s lots of people still called it Westland Row tho.

Well it's not really helped by the fact that Pearse Street is next door to the station. Though most people probably don't realise that both have a common source of naming rather than one influencing the other.
