Hang on a minute here, when I lived in Cork city centre I frequently took the train to Dublin at the weekend, and as I lived accross the road from the station was conveniently served by the last train, which arrived into Cork around 00:35. that was about 4 or 5 years ago. Has that gone away?

If they can do it in Cork, why can they not do it in Waterford or Galway?
I assume that these are local Cork drivers. If not, what is to stop them staying overnight?

Business regularly sent out field staff to stay overnight at long distance locations. Its a business reality. And BE and private operators do it - in fairness the bus services take nearly double the time of rail, so if they can do it, there is no excuse.
