No real Limerick trains that could be re-routed tbh cause they are majority Limerick junction shuttle services.

Only 4 direct services a day Mon-Sat.

Thurles to Limerick commuter by crappy 2700 at 07:35
Dublin-Limerick 15:25
Dublin-Limerick 16:25
Dublin-Limerick 17:25

At least one direct service by Nenagh though would be great too but i doubt Iarnród Éireann would bother introducing it. Plus the times and length of journey would scare people off. Also they might have to value the fare as the same rate as the Dublin-Cork line's Limerick service, which would be unfair given the less distance that train would travel. Though they should just take the Limerick part out of it. Just Nenagh/Roscrea to Dublin using a 3 car 22000 class could work.
