Another weird overtaking is :

06:30 Limerick - Dublin Heuston
06:15 Cork - Dublin Heuston

All going well, the Limerick train arrives into Thurles as the Cork train arrives into Limerick Junction, time-wise that is about 20 minutes apart.

I have not been on either train, but I presume the Limerick takes the UP-slow @ Hazelhatch and the Cork overtakes on the UP-fast.

Is the Cork train trailing the Limerick train before Hazelhatch? Is there a need for it to be overtaken?
