I believe with minimal improvements it should be easily possible to cover Dublin-Cork in 2hours 30 minutes with three stops at Mallow, Thurles and Limerick Junction. This morning the 0730 from Cork could have done that timing with minutes to spare. The bigger issue is services into Connolly which would be exacerbated if the line to the Airport proceeds (which is a sensible proposition in every other respect).
