Talk:Iarnród Éireann

message: It’s given as [ˈiəɾˠn̪ˠˌɾˠoːd̪ˠ ˈeːɾʲən̪ˠ]. [ˠ] is close to German <ü>, and is not used in any actual pronunciation of Iarnród Éireann, neither in Irish nor English. I'm changing this to reflect the correct [ʲ]; if you have a good reason for changing it back, please include it here 91.64.130.180 (talk) 17:28, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It should be noted that the above statement is incorrect, in that (superscript) [ˠ] is not "close to German <ü>"; it is, in fact, an indication that the preceding consonant is velarized. Since User:91.64.130.180's comment was made the IPA has been 1) altered to (the incorrect) [ˈiəɾʲnʲˌɾʲoːdʲ ˈeːɾʲənʲ]; 2) removed altogether; and 3) restored as [ˈiəɾˠnˠɾˠoːdˠ ˈeːɾʲən̪ˠ]. Personally, I would prefer to see [ˠ] dispensed with in IPA representations of Irish: it is surely enough to indicate the palatalized ("narrow") consonants (by means of [ʲ]) and leave the rest to be taken as velarized ("broad") by default. That is the way that dictionaries dealt with the question "when I was alive". I wonder, can anyone perhaps point me to where there may have been a discussion on this matter in the Talk pages of Wikipedia? I've looked, but have yet to find one. -- Picapica (talk) 19:20, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

message: The company's name, as registered at the Companies Registration Office in Dublin, is 'Iarnrod Eireann - Irish Rail' and the company uses 'Irish Rail' as their main brand these days... so, why is "Iarnród Éireann" being used here and else where on Wikipedia?

message: I believe that sources/references of some sort (survey results for example) should be used to validate the following comments. This is to ensure that Wikipedia's  neutral point of view policy is adhered to.
"Quality of service is generally good."
"The Dublin to Belfast (the Enterprise route) is well regarded, despite occasional problems with punctuality." 
"The Cork - Dublin route is also quite well regarded."

message: I propose that Pearse Station be removed from the list of main Intercity stations, as it is not, in general, an Intercity station, merely a DART station. Heuston Station is the terminus for Intercity services to Cork, Limerick, Tralee, Waterford, Ballina, Westport, and Galway; Connolly Station is the terminus for Intercity services to Sligo and Rosslare Harbour, and Enterprise services to Belfast. Pearse Station is merely a commuter hub. Stifle 15:15, 10 November 2005 (UTC)

message: Hi, i have noticed a few areas that use weasel and peacock terms without any citation to back them up
"this route is quite poor as it is faster to drive by car even at peak times"
"Rolling stock are quite good on this route"
While through experience i may agree with the first assertion, the fact remains that it needs to be properly cited. Does anybody have the time to deal with these instances of peacock and weasel?Darigan (talk) 14:07, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

message: The article fails to mention IÉ has deep problems due to lack of electrification. They neglected to install catenary on 95% of their lines and now are on the verge of closing down much of their network, due to the work-intensive and expensive nature of diesel gugglers. The long term survival of railways is only possible via high-tension AC traction at the national grid frequency, that is a well established fact by now. 92.52.236.107 (talk) 10:37, 26 November 2016 (UTC)

message: This is the English Wikipedia, Irish Rail is an official name of the company and is used in the logo. So that name should be used, not the Irish (difficult pronounceable) name. It's not like Garda Síochána where only the Irish name exists and is used.--Wester (talk) 12:58, 4 January 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: according to the relevant Irish statue the name is officially Iarnród Éireann—Irish Rail, so I would advocate for the article to be renamed that (as it already is in the infobox). Smirkybec (talk) 20:18, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
