To be honest I'm not sure I've a lot of sympathy for them; they were properly warned what student card they needed and chose to proceed anyway, then chose to "raise a lot of issues" rather than paying up.
It's a mite unfair (but legal) for IÉ to look for the €100 fixed penalty plus the €66 fare, but the equivalent over here would not be much better — double the peak fare for the journey made.
