Is there any reason not to run trains as Sligo-Wexford or Sligo-Rosslare.

I realise driver's hours may be a problem, but you could always switch drivers in Connolly.

A great pro would be that you don't occupy a platform in Connolly with a train waiting for ages to depart,

There would also be a benefit to a small number of passengers who want to travel from destinations on the Sligo line to South Dublin, Wicklow and Wexford or vice versa.
