The situation out of Connolly must be even worse as by my reckoning there must be 4 sets overnighting in Sligo, as the 1505, 1600, 1705 & 1905 all arrive after (or just as) the last up-train leaves.
There were a lot of stupid decisions made by Irish Rail (and others) during the Celtic Tiger but there is very little can be done about them.

Yes, the set that does the 15:05 stays in Sligo until 11:00 the next morning, while the others do the 05:45, 07:00 and 09:00 the next day.
