There is some truth in it for a number of reasons
1. Most of Rosslare/Gorey services are linked to Dublin suburban services where the new regional/intercity railcars are not suited. So a new timetable is needed to introduce them. Gorey suburban services will remain with commuter railcars. There will be an extra 16:30 Connolly Gorey in the Autumn.
2. The cab window on the new railcars isn't up to the task of catching the old manual ETS staff required by the Rosslare signaling. So we have to wait till the new signaling is commissioned. New signaling also means new timetable
What is likely to happen is this
The current 6:00 Gorey Sligo will depart at 6:10 and run to Maynooth, then all Sligo services will be operated by Intercity Railcars requiring 4 3 car sets weekdays with 6 3 car sets needed on a Friday
Certainly from December 2007 Rosslare could be served, the ETS issue isn't a problem once staff are told only exchange staffs through a open cab door while stopped
