The SERA report timetable does a very good job within the constraints it has and does link with most ferries. You are restricted by having to cross trains at Wellingtonbridge its the only way to get a train every 2 hours.
I had a long discussion with the consultants about the timetable and the options and the change we suggested got a better morning arrival time in both Waterford (8:27 vs 8:50) and Wexford and got a better evening peak departure time from Waterford with the connection from the Dublin train.
I wouldn't focus too much on the Dublin - Rosslare - Ferry case, the volcano experience showed virtually zero take up even with the trains connecting while the morning train to Waterford was packed.
I certainly see a need for the ferry companies to show a small flexibility to move schedules a few minutes to make things work better
