AFAIK Docklands has 10 turnstiles. The problem is that it is a terminating station (everyone is getting off) and the platform-turnstile distance is short (people don't get spread out like Connolly platform 5/6/7 to the main concourse). If you have a full eight car trains, they could take 10 minute to unload - by which time the next train (when they have more trains) has shown up.
I raised this at the time of the planning application but was scoffed at by CIÉ Property Department.
