This is an ongoing program to detect fare evasion by people falsely claiming to have boarded at Broombridge when challenged later.
Those falsely claiming to board at Broombridge then get stung for the 100 euro fine, most of the fraudsters then claim of course then Broombridge is unstaffed, of course not knowing the trap Irish Rail has set.
Needless to say if the case gets to the court the full 1000 euro fine is applied
SI 109 / 1984 does provide for this style of temporary ticket.
