This is quite unfair and over the top for the two of them- The studentcard carry is on is hugely ambiguous and vague. Particularly as each CIE company has different rules.
Besides, it does not seem they willingly evaded any fare!
It would be far more beneficial for all concerned that a mutual solution is reached instead of IE deciding to needlessly prosecute. And they wonder why less people use the train- for the two of these, their families and friends, they now have a tainted view of IE and hence will be reluctant to use the train again
