Complete darkness doesn't sound good. Mind you it doesn't mean the engines can't be started and the train would be unable to proceed.
Would happen a lot when the train arrives from Portlaoise and everything is shutdown until the driver of the next service arrives. Its not complete darkness ther would be light coming through the windows.

A set in complete darkness sounds like a Health and Safety issue - a minimum amount of internal lighting should always be maintained, otherwise the darkened vehicles aren't fit for service.
Only in there is no light coming through the windows. I have traveled from Heuston to Kildare with no lights as the train arrived from Portlaose and was left running and the driver didn't see that the lights were off until the ticket inspector told him. Health and Safety is very over rated these days.
