Summary
Paddywagon, a Dublin-based tourist coach firm, just got slapped with a €5,700 fine—€3,000 for the offense and €2,700 in costs—for running an unlicensed coach service from Dublin to the Cliffs of Moher. It’s not their first rodeo: they were caught again just 12 months after being convicted for the same route, despite receiving 15 prior warnings. NTA undercover officers boarded their bus, and even though they’d applied for a license (which was never approved), they were still advertising the trip online right up until court. With seven passengers on board and profits soaring past €770k, the judge emphasized this was a repeat violation—and the consequences are steep. A cautionary tale for any company thinking shortcuts are worth it when it comes to public transport regulations.
