In fact the government mandated DART to Greystones is arguably part of the reason the line works inefficiently.

Are you seriously saying there is nothing Irish Rail can do to improve services on the Rosslare line without government intervention ?
Why do DARTs take 25% to 40% longer to travel from Bray to Greystones compared to a diesel thus generating much of the congestion between Bray and Greystones.
Why does the DART take between 16% and 25% longer to travel from Bray to Connolly than in 1984 ?
What proposals did Irish Rail table to improve operations on the Rosslare line that were de-prioritised by government ?
Did the government mandate the removal of crossovers at Merrion and Dun Laoghaire ?
Does the government write the timetable ?
Incidentally Irish Rail's slowest speed operation by far is DART not the Western Rail Corridor or even the Nenagh line !
