They usually thrown a few extra trains on when Dublin are playing in Croke Park but nothing on the IR site.
Any posters up in the stations?

Hey Trampas, apologies for the late reply but I have been mastering the Dutch rail system amongst other things over the last couple of days I have been popping in and out through the mobile but have not had the chance to make any posts!
Anyway, There was little or no doubt that extra trains would be run, I was in connolly station 2 weeks ago (i think!) when there were minor games on at croker and despite there been no signs up at any of the stations no notices on the website nothing on the online timetable there were extra trains running from connolly station and it was even displayed on the large destination screen (not the DART one) as "special service"
This happens nearly every week during the summer GAA season and I am sure MarkG will correct me if i'm wrong but I think these extra services are integrated into the staff working timetable (not the passenger one) meaning the resources are always there!
These extra services as you have spotted are never advertised on the website, either by notice or on the timetable. Your best bet will be to contact your local station when asking these questions. Some stations (eg clonsilla) are really helpful and post notices up showing the times and will advise you if you ring and query these questions. I would suggest you contact your station on the friday before the match (clonsilla, coolmine, castleknock are great help!) and ask this question. They will be able to tell you if any extra are on. Otherwise ring the central telephone service!
Hope this helps for future reference!
