Couldn't find any details on the IE site at the time it happened

The clever will have noted that the Sligo train should have come in via the Midland line and parked out of the way beyond P7, its also 3 minutes faster than the Drumcondra approach
This is IE we are talking about. Sligo terminated at platform 5, Drogheda was platform 6 and a southbound DART platform 7 with people being redirected all over the place
