In Ireland, a standard fare is issued to a passenger on Dublin Bus and Luas services who fails to present a valid ticket on request. It is similar to penalty fares as issued in the UK.
A standard fare on Dublin Bus is €50. On Luas, it is €45. While these fares are far in excess of the maximum cash fares (€6 on Dublin Bus, €4 on Luas), legally they are not fines. However, any person who fails to pay a standard fare within a defined time (usually 21 days) after incurring it is liable to prosecution.

“But fare thee well, most foul, most fair! Farewell,
Thou pure impiety and impious purity!”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“I find it interesting that the meanest life, the poorest existence, is attributed to God’s will, but as human beings become more affluent, as their living standard and style begin to ascend the material scale, God descends the scale of responsibility at a commensurate speed.”
—Maya Angelou (b. 1928)
