Likewise, I was thinking that Galway-Dublin should use the old Athlone-Mullingar route (especially now that Cork-Galway can be done via Limerick). With Westport-Dublin continuing on the Athlone-Portarlington stretch it would open up many more route combinations.

But it seems to me as if IE done want to have a network, just a series of single routes between Dublin and provincial cities.
