    I think there is a weekender card but the card you get from AIB when you open an account is the Student Travel Card. It's costs €12 for one year and you get discounts on buses, train and the Luas (I think). Also acts as an official GAA ID card, get 10% off at Top Man and some other bit's. If you ask at your local train station about what you should get, I find they are normally very helpful.

    Hmmm...must look at this...

    EDIT: You'd think Ryanair would fly to Dublin from Knock...

    Either way you can still get a Student Treval Card for €12 from most if not all colleges...

    Last year I think it was BoI but I'm pretty sure I saw it on some AIB stuff this year aswell.
