I travel the Tralee-Dublin route frequently. All wagons used have moving info displays at each end of carriage.

I do not need to be told it is a non-smoking service (smoking has not been possible on any western European public transport for maybe twenty years)

or not to leave my bags in passage, not to use reserved seats, to take my bags with me, etc...

and then in Irish as well.

I like to listen to music/podcasts and the volume of these announcements is just too loo loud.

We got by fine when the name of the next station was given once of twice before the stop.
