Very, very, very few would be my guess.

As has been pointed out before under the transport act Iarnrod Eireann are required to provide everything in Irish. Having travelled several times on the Mk4 trains I can find nothing wrong with the Irish announcements they are clear and correct. The correct name of the station is Heuston station, not Dublin Heuston, thus Heuston Station Dublin would be correct. The Irish version is correct
This is not the forum to express a personal grudge or dislike about the Irish language, take it up with your TD or go elsewhere, continuing on this line of discussion will risk a ban
