Yeah, I don't think horse power is the issue at all on these services, just general apathy and refusal to take responsibility for problems.

Not that I know of - I guess people are just too tired to organise by the time they get home these days - maybe that's their game!
On a serious note - I'm shocked at the number of commuters who have had to revert to using the 06:41 from Athy to Heuston, just to get into work on time. It's truly depressing that these users - many of whom (like myself!) were delighted at the extra hour in bed that the 07:37 service promised, have had to start getting up at the crack of dawn again, solely due to the unreliability of the later service.
This is just not fair, and not acceptable in a 21st century, supposedly developed country, which has apparently just come through an economic boom.
