No through ticketing is offered by Irish Rail and UK rail companies as a result

From September a train will depart Dublin at 16:36 and will arrive Rosslare in time for check in of both Irish Ferries and Stena Line departures

In the reverse direction the 02:15 Fishguard Rosslare connects with the 07:50 Rosslare Dublin
Through ticketing from this side IS available though not practical. In recent times I travelled on such a ticket so can vouch for the truth of that.
But as stated it is not available from Britain, unless one purchases a return
from this side.

Overnight sailing from Fishguard is at 0245.

The connection at Rosslare to/from the Pembroke Irish Ferries ship
will only be of benefit to passengers travelling to Pembroke and other towns
in the immediate area. Virtually all locations can be reached easier via Fishguard which possesses an integrated ship-rail terminal.
