If a Outer Commuter or Intercity train were to be stuck behind a DART, the DART would stop in the loop and the long distance train would "overtake" it down the centre line. It would cost the DART about 2 minutes, but save the IC/Commuter, I figure, an average of 10.

Rosslare has indeed unacceptable delays getting stuck behind the DART mostly from Connolly on route to Bray about 15-20mins of delayed time behind a DART. I cant speak for Belfast or Sligo because I dont use those lines.
You have the same attitude that I have and many others InterCity(Long Distance) services should have priority. I know a DART has alot more passengers than InterCity but people who have been travelling for over 2hrs on a train say Wexford then crawling along between Bray to Connolly its so frustrating. Knowing full well that something can be done if IE put there heads together.
