with what money would IE rebuild Athenry-Sligo? And even if they were given the money to build it, with what money and rolling stock would it operate it and subsidise fares to the point where people would buy them? And even if it did, what likelihood that an FG government would instruct Bus Eireann to stop trying to bury their "sister company" with ever more services?

The only capital works likely to be undertaken by IE in the next five years are ones for which contract penalties are sufficiently onerous or the state of life expired equipment is so scary that it must be done regardless or face another Broadmeadow.
