Several trains between Heuston and Cork have been running late. The 1130 Cork-Heuston didn't get in until 1445. The 1730 Cork-Heuston still isn't in. This will cause a knock-on effect to the 2100 Heuston-Thurles.

The train ran a few minutes late as a 2×3 22000. The connection from Thurles to Cork didn't get in until 0040; it seems IÉ got caught on the hop with numbers, as there were a sizeable number of rather depressed Munster supporters. Most of the buses therefore had to go to Limerick, and there was only one left for Mallow and Cork.

Reservations aside, surely when people got on at Heuston, they had 60-90 minutes to arrange buses?

You'd think, wouldn't you.
