Until you see the IE timetable printed what is online currently is not reliable, its not on the IE site for a start

For instance there is no 7 or 8 am to Cork online currently but they exist, no trains to Maynooth beyond 19:05 etc, the 7:25 to Limerick is missing, the connections are not to be relied on the 8:46 Limerick Junc to Limerick is a connection off the 7am ex Dublin so you can make Limerick by 9:15am in 2:15 but you won't find that online

Dublin Limerick
Direct 2006 : 4 time approx 2:35 except the 17:05 fast
Direct 2007 : 6 (possibly also 7:25am) time 2:23-2:30

And its Mk3 coaches with decent heating, more seats and first on all services from 2007 which is a considerable improvement. Its give and take and given the slow down generally Limerick is one of the few routes to show reductions in journey times on direct services
