A friend who is a manager in a UK rail operator predicted dire consequences for IE in the forthcoming budget, predicting massive fare increases, possibly service reductions if not closures and cancellation of the next batch of 22K

I would think that these predictions are a bit over the top but are there any indications on how the situation will affect rail transport in the Irish Republic in the coming years?

Will DART Underground, Metro and LUAS extensions be more likely casualties?
