Am I missing something or doesn’t the multi zillion pound LUAS link Connelly and Heuston????

The LUAS is great if you want to start your journey somewhere along the line, and finish somewhere else along the line. The Interconnector will also benefit intercity trains.

I don’t know if IE have plans to do this, but it would be great if we could have (for example) Cork-Dublin-Belfast trains, or Waterford-Dublin-Sligo trains, so that national connections could be made without getting out at Heuston or Connolly and trecking across the city (wasting AT LEAST an hour in the process).

This will aid regional development even though it is a Dublin project, by allowing people in (say) Portlaoise access other parts of the country (like Dundalk) almost as easily as if they were based in Dublin and with greater time-certainty than before.
