But does not hold a valid student travelcard.
Its zero tolerance, failure to play by the quite reasonable rules will result in a fine and the ticket being confiscated (its remains property of Irish Rail/CIE at all times anyway).
The rules were clearly displayed and you made a decision to chance it, Irish Rail then applied the rules exactly as outlined in those rules. Irish Rail's requirement for a specific student travelcard is in line with numerous other railways administrations.
Based on the rules and past history there is zero chance the fine will be struck out as this represents a clear "intent to defraud" of traveling on a cheaper ticket than which is valid which allows Irish Rail the legal power to issue a 100 euro fixed notice fine and/or 1000 euro for a conviction in court
