No 2600s will leave Cork, they are all needed more or less and operate Commuter/Mallow and Cork/Tralee a few times a week.
There is only 26 2700 coaches (12 x 2 and 2 x 1) and its unclear if all will return however if they all return Limerick/Galway/Limerick J and Ballina branch will keep in the region o 10 busy regularly and then you have spares.
There will be an extra 8 units (2 spare) 2800 in Dublin and provide 2x8 car or 3x6 car or 4x2 car to operate most likely M3 and Maynooth freeing up ICRs to expand PPT/Heuston or N Commuter services.
They will not send a mix of 26/7 to Dublin because it would cost a fortune in maintenance costs if they did that.
