Irish rail fleet deployment

Waterford, Westport & Galway would all 7 x ICR formations regularly, perhaps on a daily basis.

I am only aware of a 5 car ICR operating to Rosslare on one occasion, it is very rare.

As for 8 car ICRs operating to Cork over Easter, i don't know, possibly, although the line closure will reduce traffic considerably.. The use of 8 car ICRs is restricted somewhat by platform lengths which by and large are not long enough on most routes.
