And Howth and Malahide have the smart card readers both on the platforms for out of hours and also attached to the old ticket barrier machines in the stations.

Lansdowne Road has the purple back box on the night exit and Dalkey has the stainless steel base for the unit in the photo there.

Smart card readers attached to the top of the old turnstiles in Killester as of yesterday afternoon. Still a terrible design, I'm sure other people have clobbered themselves or caught bags on the lumps now sticking up out of the turnstiles.

why aren't they bringing in the new turnstiles at these stations?

Cost or possibly the fear of block obsolescence in the future (its better to buy in a few batches than buy everything in the one go, only for it all to wear out at the same time).

The stations which received the new gates are typically high volume stations where passengers exited via the gate and not the barrier line.

The reader element has been fitted to some of the smartcard readers. Shankill and Dalkey appear to be the first.
