I doubt a train would overnight in Midleton, the 05:50 from Cobh to Cork, that connects with the 06:30 to Dublin runs in service to Cobh at 05:20. Something similar should be done for the Midleton line.
I live between my parents house in Midleton and my own house in Mallow. A public transport system that would have me in work (or even Cork city!) before 7am would be fantastic, unfortunately not that case! Earliest train from Mala is 07:00 and earliest bus from Midleton is also 07:00. Any election candidate (EU or local) that have graced my front door over the past few weeks, I have asked them where do they stand on it. Same stupid cr*p from all of them. Even one of the EU candidates said to me, "...well that is not really anytine to do with me, its more of a local election topic..." - I told him, a more (or total) European influence on our public transport problem would more than likely solve all our transport problems!! Sorry for the random rant
