In the old timetable there's always been a 20:50 service from Mallow to Cork that runs Monday-Thursday. Except it runs on a Friday too, but only unofficially.

Basically, it provides a nice connection from the 18:30 Dublin-Tralee train and on a Friday, this train is so full with Kerry-bound passengers that they don't want people using it to travel to Cork.

Ghost services and stops are nothing new to Irish Rail.
