Perhaps it's not a bad thing to get passengers used to the new normal on the route but at least drivers could comply with the schedule.
Clearly you are obviously more privy to IE board meetings and decisions taken at them than the rest of us.

Might it not cross your mind that they actually may have only formally made the decision not to go ahead with the new timetable at or around the time that they told the public?

While it might have been apparent that the unions were not going to co-operate for some time, it certainly was not obvious that the company were not going to try and force it through. That would have been a board decision.

You're also only looking at external timetables - perhaps NIR had already agreed the new timetables internally and issued new working timetables etc.?

Things are never as black and white in the real world as you seem to think.
