    What's the point of that?

    Because teenagers going to the Gaeltacht, with all those hormones and pheromones flying around the place, can't possibly be expected to sit in a reserved seat? (Or any other seat, for that matter) ;)

    They do this every year. I imagine they want to gave how many they need to expect and so encourage pre-booking.

    They can already. I think the normal limit is 25kg, but 50kg is allowed for children attending boarding school. Or somesuch.

    Easiest way is to go onto the Irish Rail website here:
    http://www.irishrail.ie/your_journey/special_offers.asp?action=list&specials_origin=HSTON&specials_destination=GALWY

    Then select the train that you want, click continue and it will list the stations served in a drop down box.
