Also remember that the majority of people in Dublin (same goes for Belfast) don't live within a 10min walk of Connolly. So you've then got the extra time and hassle of getting to the station which just makes it unviable for most.
If I live in Blanch, Tallaght, Lucan, Rathfarnham etc etc getting to Connolly or Hueston to take an IC service is more hassle than it's worth.
Until we have a *reliable*, integrated transport solution in the city the IC services won't make any inroads into the motorway.
