How much did the platform extension costs, how much are they wasting on railings which may be more appropriate between the tracks and cliff to stop other falls if they happened Remember it's not as if IE are funding it from within their finances...
I'm well aware of their financial situation evidenced by 2 other landslide repairs/risks which had to wait until 2015 budget was drawn up as they were to late for 2014's.

Well compared with the associated trackwork and resignalling, I imagine railings and a platform extension is peanuts.
As to the €1m, we don't know when that money is being made available.
With the public sector, it's not as simple as saying we need €x now - the money comes from central government when the funding envelope is available.
I suspect that IE are doing what work is affordable at present that maximises flexibility in terms of train lengths.
