Info from Irish Rail this morning is 4 trains in the morning/evening peak, not 4 trains an hour.
Lots of confusion need to get some timetable clarity.
Ideally they should start a 3 train an hour Hazelhatch to Grand Canal Dock service, simple and allows for connections into services at Hazelhatch
Can then run all the Portlaoise services non stop Hazelhatch Heuston

Not sure Hazelatch serves that needed, I think Portlaoise-Hazelhatch and onto GCD. Numbers beyond Hazelhatch cannot possibly justify such a service and then a shuttle to Heuston from Hazelhatch.
Cannot see IE going to stop all IC services at Hazelhatch.
As for the delays to Portlaoise, it happens but not overly major, perhaps better use of Sallins loop would help rather than holding. Remember the commuter service has enough timetabled in to absorb delays so expect it would be no different going to GCD.
