It seems the guards in Cork are the most zealous in pursuing punters - 29 offences in first half of 2023 - I never heard anything about these cases. Wonder where they were.
There's an account on twitter (X, whatever) commenting that there was prosecutions this year in Cork than the rest of the country combined. There were only 51 national in 2022
