The machines are by Scheidt & Bachmann and the exact same as the ones IE have. These guys are a major international player. CIE ordered the Luas machines in the days before the RPA
I don't find the machines unduly slow, the original software wasn't terribly easy to work out and they modified that to speed it up. Only tip is to let gravity takes it course don't fire the coins in with force. There is one trick on the Luas machines you can cancel out of a transaction even with the money put in if you are quick there is a tiny delay where it work
The big question is why the ticket machine can't issue a ticket a suburban rail destination
Its 15 cent a journey cheaper by smart card now if you don't travel often its worth looking at
