Recent reports in the Irish press suggesting the country would launch a contactless fare-payments pilot as part of its planned national open-loop rollout were overstated, a rep of the National Transport Authority told Mobility Payments.

Operational costs would amount to between €800 million and €1.2 billion over the first 10 years.
