There are some ground rules:
1. Any service which does use the tunnel, must be in addition to those currently scheduled
Why, as not to negatively effect those happy with Heuston, we will call them the Jervisites not forgetting those looking for a intercity connection
2. Any service which does run through the tunnel must operate via the Drumcondra line and serve Drumcondra
Why, rebuilding Glasnevin Junction is too expensive and not worth the little benefit it offers. Stop in Drumcondra enhances access to Croke Park, and north city with excellent bus interchange
3. Any train which operates through the tunnel cannot do so at the price of the cancellation of a service elsewhere.
Why, removal of an established and busy service isn't in the passenger interest
4. The only realistic option is Docklands
Why, space in Connolly doesn't exist at peak times.
