And not putting them in upside-down, or failing to take back their single ticket resulting in the turnstile refusing to take a new one, or tailgating and causing the IÉ gate monitor to go and hassle them...

The problem I see is that the gates are all bi-directional meaning that if there are a load of people going out then someone trying to get in hasn't a chance. I've seen in Connolly they sometimes switch a couple of the turnstiles to one-way, but it's rare.

Doh! I had 4 seconds in my brain

I still think the gates are slower than the old 3 finger gates. there is a delay between taking your ticket back and the gate opening. if you walk too far forward, the gate will not open.

On the other hand the gates stay open as long as there are people going through rather than closing and opening again each time.
