There was a direct curve from Killinick-Killinane that would allow a reinstated line to bypass Rosslare strand, which would get rid of the reversal there. You would need to reinstate the track & ROW there, but that should be doable. The crawl along the quays would still be a big issue.
Red: Existing track to Rosslare Strand
Yellow: Rough alignment of direct curve

They alluded to a new station at the South End of the town, probably near Wexford Creamery.
The report said:
"Connectivity could be further improved byreinstating the railway between Waterfordand Rosslare (including a chord/curve tothe south of Wexford) and extendingsome Dublin – Waterford intercityservices to a new station to the south ofWexford O’Hanrahan once the linebetween Heuston and Waterford hasbeen upgraded. With improvements tothe intercity corridors described above,this would reduce journey times betweenDublin and Wexford by around an hour."
They also included this diagram look like they think with electrification and 200 km hr running they could do Heuston- Waterford in about 1 hr 15 mins, and Heuston Wexford in about 1 hour 45
