Train delayed due to Irish Rail playing a game of adding 3 more coaches to the train after its scheduled departure time

6 coach set in P1 and 3 coach set parked in P4.

Of course everyone had to wait for 3 coaches to be taken off the P1 train then moved across the station to join the P4 coaches.

This added 10 mins. However there was a problem with the brakes on the train so we left 22 mins late in total at 1927.

During the time there were 7 (count 'em) Irish Rail staff on the platform having a good old laugh.

There was one station announcement and no apologies or explaination at all.
