Do many people live in Nenagh and work in Limerick City Centre?

I've always had the impression that with the exception of Cork, not that many people work in Irish regional city centres as office parks are all on the outskirts.

I've always seen UL as a potentially greater source of traffic if there was a feeder bus to Castleconnell or even a new station built around the Annacotty area.

A few questions
- Why does the service have to be at 5.05? Could it not be an hour later and connect with later services on the Cork-Dublin line? Why is the existing slot no longer possible?

- Would this add a Ballybrophy stop to the 18:00 Dublin-Cork? This is already one of the most overcrowded InterCity services leaving Dublin.

- Has there ever been a study done that compared the effects of increasing frequency relative to speed improvements on a rail line?
