To answer my own question, the
light rail by-laws say that it's an offence not to produce a ticket to an authorised person on request, but you are only liable to pay the standard fare if you are "on a light rail vehicle without a valid ticket", and CSOs can't detain you, although a Garda can. (See sections 66-67 of the Transport (Railway Infrastructure) Act, 2001.) Usual IANAL disclaimers apply.
