I would point out if you are asked for your details on the grounds that they are of the opinion that you may have broken a byelaw, and no ticket is a reasonable opinion you have to give them or else you have committed an offence.
Clearly if they refuse your money for the normal fare they are trying to issue the fine
They have no case if you boarded at an unstaffed station, if that is the case and they continue to attempt to issue the fine
1. Take names (they will refuse thats fine see point 3)
2. Tell them they have broken the law by refusing to issue a ticket under SI 109 1984
3. Get the gardai involved
