I just suspect that they are carrying a loss in the hope that Irish Rail blink first.
In terms of intermediate stops, it depends on the connections. With a connection in Mallow, almost as many board the train as are already on it. And no surprise really. Mallow is the main station for 90,000 people in North Cork, plus 150,000 in Kerry from connections. That's not far off the catchment for Cork.
