The two returning Mark 4 sets are releasing ICRs for use on the Kildare Line services through the Phoenix Park Tunnel - they won't help the Connolly side at all.
IE clearly have the capacity already so I would not be surprised if here is no change in Mark IV ops, at a push you might see one set back. Unless they move a set to Limerick or Galway.

As things stand the key times are:
14.00-20.00
16.00-22.00
21.00-08.20 and 08.30

Bringing back a Mark IV for 14.00 rotation might be needed (Friday at least) however as they have not added the 20.00 back into schedules I don't see them running an empty Mark IV nightly for the early morning service if the 21.00 was also converted to Mark IV.

Any other ICR ops are not relevant to PPT operations. Given the capacity change on Friday afternoons over other days they should have adequate stock available to operate most of the PPT service.

We shall see....
