While the timetabling and operation of railway services is a matter for Iarnród Éireann, the Company have advised that the introduction of the new InterCity railcars on the Dublin-Sligo services will enable the commuter railcars, currently used on the Sligo services, to be reallocated to commuter operations and that rail services between Gorey and Dublin will be very significantly improved in terms of frequency between now and 2009.
