Situation rectified now (1140am). I see that most Dublin-Cork services are slower, especially in the down direction from Mallow to Cork. A new outbreak of timetable padding?

Short term i'd say. Lot of track renewal on down line between Hazelhatch-Kildare due to take place and Ballast cleaning restarts which will have restrictions every few weeks. Lot of services losing 4+ minutes at Sallins over the past week, a Mark IV will take longer to recover and if you add a second further down the line.

So the delays are in Kildare, but the padding is added between Mallow and Cork.
Isn't it great when punctuality is only measured at the terminus station? |

Other routes can claw back most of the time lost when they cross trains on single routes as the trains crossing will have a few extra minutes on the schedule to facilitate the crossing. Will this help the OTP stats yes however considering 10 minutes after scheduled arrival is on time not sure it will have a major impact overall other than save customer service responding to delay complaints.
