For Dublin bound connections should be cross platform 2/3 no steps etc. Mallow has a wheelchair accessible bridge. All non direct trains are fully accessible, the direct ones aren't yet
Tralee is likely to get another set of direct trains to restore the previous case, there really isn't space on the network currently to run more, we do have to live with commercial realities
What I'd really like to see is more direct Cork Mallow Tralee services without a change, there is good business Cork Tralee line, remember not everything is Dublin bound.
We do have an aversion to connections in Ireland, that was justified in the past but as the frequencies increase and reach a clockface arrangement they will become a unavoidable element. The Swiss have the best rail service in Europe, based entirely on good connections. It works since the Swiss are obsessed with punctuality, thats the challenge for Irish Rail
