Yes, I agree with Paul. The issue here is the systematic planning failures in the Dublin region.

But unfortunatley, I STILL don't see us getting it right. On the Maynooth line, yes, housing is being built directly along side the line, but the majority is not within easy walking distance. Fingal CC need to wake up and start building VERY high density mixed use developments within 10mins WALKING distance of the stations. This is the VERY FIRST step in building a sustainable public transport infrastructure in the city.

As I keep repeating, Dublin is a SMALL, low density city. We need lots of low capacity lines, rather than 1 or 2 high capacity.

Dwell times are only long on IE's network, they are much better on the Luas.
