How was this sneaked in, one hour between off peak services when they were originally every half hour...
If IR are going to cut the commuter services on this line, could they not even have got the Intercity from Sligo to call at all commuter stations, it only takes an extra ten minutes?
Maynooth to Connolly by Commuter is 42mins
Maynooth to Connolly by Inter City is 33mins
The Sligo train is as slow up from Maynooth and down from Connolly to Maynooth, be as well letting it stop at commuter stations during the day off peak.

Intercity services to/from Maynooth should take no more than 22 minutes, 33 minutes is glacially slow, 42 minutes would be a farce.
The idea of stopping Sligo services at every station between Dublin and Maynooth would make the service even less competitive and expose passengers to the undesireables that already frequent the local services.
