Has a 5car ICR ever been used to rosslare.
Do you think Irish rail will be running any 8 car trains during the Easter works and is it possible in the future irish rail might have regular 8 car ICR trains when/if the bi mode trains come which will release a few icr sets and if passenger numbers keep increasing

They are allowed but cannot call at Kilkenny. Since the formations one schedule passenger service (07.10) was operated by a 7 car and that was due a unscheduled 4 car forming another service.

7 car formations are not that common, on Heuston side its mainly 3 services to Galway/Westport (split on return) daily and more operational than capacity based formations. 1 per day to Sligo and on Fridays Westport/Sligo have extra.
