As for reducing train journey times (i.e. the topic) is there any likelihood of Ennis-Limerick times being made more competitive within even a thin funding envelope?

Limerick-Ennis is already fairly competitive. Journey time is 40 minutes while the bus takes at least an hour (Because it goes into the airport and Clarecastle etc). Fares are about the same too. It's quiet enough mid-day but morning and evening commuter timed trains are generally full in my experience.
