The information at Athenry was specific to Athenry, i.e. it said Athenry station, and was on display at 3 locations within the station.
Woodlawn and Attymon are not staffed on the Galway line
What Irish Rail are doing is completely compatible with the law, i.e sell a ticket or fine, the law provides no guidelines on when to choose which option.
Note Irish Rail rely on the 'intent to defraud' under the rail safety act, which is almost impossible to prove, so far too many cases are thrown out at district court, were as Luas relies on a much easier 'failed/unable to produce a valid ticket' which is a much easier case.
