personally speaking if the buses cause IE to be more flexible regarding their pricing and services then everyone is a winner. Also, the coaches call at some different stops to the train, eg, Cashel, so both services can compliment each other.
BTW, as someone who literally lives on the main line, I have never seen a 4-coach Mark4 set. Have seen a lot of 22ks though, which is a lousy alternative to offer.
