According to ENN Iarnrod Eireann are considering the provision of WiFi on Irish trains through an arrangement with Airappz who would provide and I assume operate the technology for free.  It appears Airappz plan to fund the service by selling advertising on the hotspot landing page which I assume can be valued based on the number of users that use the service .. and therein lies the catch.

Try getting space to open a laptop on the 5pm train to Drogheda you'll most likely get abuse for using up valuable breathing space. That said, anything that drives more connectivity in Ireland has got my backing, anything that drags Iarnrod Eireann out of the dark ages is priceless !
