Yes, in theory

RUI reported two major bugs to Irish Rail over 2 years ago concerning failures to correctly configure the gates

1. SHZ annual opens gates at all stations nationwide, not just SHZ. This was fixed promptly

2. Point to Point ticket, used beyond its validity still opens gate. Irish Rail removed the ability to add credit to these tickets but the ticket will still open any turnstile on the SHZ

Irish Rail are as guilty as the passenger for failing to close out this huge hole
