I would say what didn't work in the 80's isn't a valid reasoning by IE today because of change population spread and traffic gridlock etc.
Would think there is a market for it especially considering all the towns in between and amount of routes it would open up Drogheda - Portloais, Dundalk - Thurles. A train journey on one of these routes now would put anyone off using rail, 2 trains 1 tram and a whole lot of stress.
Having said that Bus Eireann have never ventured now this route of a single route so maybe its not that viable.
