Why no trains after 7?

A friend of mine here in London just got back from Ireland. Apparently she and her boyfriend turned up at Heuston station one evening last week trying to get a train to Kilkenny. They turned up just before 7pm to be told the last train to Kilkenny had left. They ended up staying the night in Dublin before catching the train in the morning.

In this day and age I find this incredible.

What is stopping Iarnrod Eireann from running at least an hourly service from Dublin to Waterford up to maybe 11pm at night? Surely these antiquated timetables should be consigned to the dustbin - ?
