Rocky Trains

Wasn't the Cork-Dublin line only recently completed removing sections of jointed track. I certainly remember there being sections of track that caused that clunk-clunk sound associated with 1950s movies and steam trains, and that's not very long ago eg early 00s

if they were replacing track that recently, why did they use substandard specifications or materials?!

Is it not just a gross waste of public funds to lay something that is of low quality and will need replacement?!
