People quickly forget what an absolute disaster Irish Rail was back in the 1990's, train breakdowns daily, delays of several hours were routine. Minor accidents and derailments were routine

Hourly to Cork with a 2:35 journey time vs up to 3:40 journey in a Mk2d with no AC with a random pattern of trains.

Situation is far from ideal but we have come a long way and an extra 10 million passengers
