In the evening peak, most Limerick-bound passengers would be using the direct trains from Dublin.
Fully understand where your coming from but does Limerick need 5 trains between 15.25 and 17.25. 5 trains in 2 hours how can IE justify this, they cannot say that there is demand for 5 trains. Even Cork only has 2 services in the same period.

Can you justify 5 services in 2 hours and there is no way IE can say yes there is demand for all these services and they are no carrying major losses. 1508 seats (includes 3 6 car direct and 2 3 car shuttle) point to point traffic to Limerick would be well below 500, I think around 200 in this period on an average weekday. It's its absolute madness that this carry on is happening when they are 22 million in the red and IE go after other routes and cut capacity when they know full well full capacity is needed.
