Under investment doesn't explain why the staff are rude or discourteous, why passenger information is poor at best and absent at worst. It doesn't give them reason to run dirty trains with enough padding in the timetable to make most other European operators laugh and then claim that they're 97% on time. The list of problems Irish Rail passengers face is a long one and most of them have nothing to do with under-investment.
