I notice that the penalty for contravening Section 258(A) is a fine only on summary conviction. Is it the case that no greater penalty than a fine can be imposed for repeat offenders and the like? Is there any way to take on people who consistently and repeatedly usurp the term "Óglaigh na hÉireann" to describe terrorist organisations? A fine may not be of much use to achieve that result.
