Some lines have platforms long enough to take trains with 9 MkIII carriages. Presumably they will also 2*4 piece ICRs. I would imagine that Sligo might be confined to 4+3. Definite gain should be the Rosslare line: 33% extra capacity will be possible.
BTW what is the total number of 3-piece sets delivered? The IE website it hopelessly out of date (it gives the total as 29!!!).
