Did Ireland ever have any sleeper services in the 19th Century?

Sleeping cars on some companies, not sure about full sleeper trains. Let me check some sources and I'll get back to you.

The GNR had three 'sleeping cars' (actually adapted composite day coaches) during the First World War. These were used in an unbalanced way on late evening Dublin <-> Belfast & Londonderry services. Basically they arrived at destination around midnight but passengers were allowed to sleep on until 0800. The service ceased around 1920.
