That's the one!
The Sligo train takes it occasionally. I didn't notice the first time as I was reading away then it went dark and thought where the fcuk are we?! Followed by an 'oh shyte I'm on the wrong train' situation but remembered I wasn't and enjoyed the spin through the tunnel!
No, it isn't!
If you were to go from Connolly through that tunnel, you end out on the Heuston lines, so could end out in Ballina, Wesport, Galway, Tralee, Cork or Waterford. Not in Sligo.
Cython was right in his/her post above. Trains from Connolly occasionally bypass Drumcondra by going along the canal. So they go along the Canal End (Davin Stand) of Croke Park, along the Whitworth road, and join up with the usual Sligo line, just behind the 6th lock in Phibsboro.
The last part of that involves going under some buildings, currently Des Kelly carpets at Gunns bridge, I think this, along with the deep cutting it passes through from Croke Park on, as well as a short tunnel at the end gives the impression of a longer tunnel.
This map shows the route from Croke Park to where the train lines meet. It's the route a pedestrian takes, but is directly alongside the track.
