Whilst it is fantastic that you can now get a return train to Cork for just €20 if you pick the right trains (which I bet hasn't been the case for 20-30 years) does it really make sense that the 2pm train costs €10 and the 3pm train is €36?

Everyone is just going to pile on to the 2pm train and the 3pm one will be significantly emptier. Wouldn't it be better to have a graduated system whereby a €10 train has to have a €20 train either side of it, so that it doesn't cause this big lopsided demand?
