I would dispute that -- I've probably done 10 return trips to Cork in a Mk3 set this year and I didn't exceed 100mph once. The wonderbra padding in the current timetable means they don't need to.
On a petty note glad that the armrests come up -- given that most of these trains will be running nearly empty (the most I've ever counted in the same carriage as me on either the 0900 Dub-Cork or the 1530 Cork-Dub was 10 on a weekday) it'll give me more room to spread out!
Good news about the ride though, now that €millions have gone on shiny new kit for IE, all they have to sort out now is to tell staff how to use a PA and how to implement an online booking system.
2015??
