The real question is which station is better equipped for a stopover. Kildare P2 is quite poor; don't know about Portlaoise.
14 mins or 16 mins would not be a consideration for me. 2 min difference would not be a deal braker to be honest.

However, the train actually starts from Portlaoise ( so it leaves the depot there ). So to me it would be more logical to change at Portlaoise rather than Kildare in terms of seating. It stops at every station from Portlaoise to Dublin. So better get a seat at Portlaoise I would think.

As for which is better equipped? Hmmmm don't really know to be honest. There is a nice waiting room on platform 2 side at Portlaoise, albeit small. But it has heating.

Intercity-v-Commuter....but I do not know how Irish Rail have implemented their online timetable.
