Frequently trains approaching Heuston are held in the 'gullet' awating platform clearance.

Good example this morning the 0600 ex Waterford was heading for an 0815 arrival ( 5 min early) but was stopped for 6-7 minutes awaiting, according to the driver, platform clearance. When the train finally arrived at 0825 there were 3 empty platforms!

So what is causing these apparently unnecessary delay??
