The Irish people learned long ago....that democracy revolves around politicians doing things which have no plus-up or benefit. So they invented this society situation where you just avoid doing things that the law says you must do, or mandate you into doing.
If the law says you should only have 3 ales in one sitting at the bar.....you sit and keep drinking without counting (meaning you might have consumed six ales).
If the law says you can only purchase a used car under these conditions.....you might stand there and violate the conditions without much discussion or guilt.
If the law says the sitting/standing capacity of the bus is 42 people....you might be the driver and just forget to count.
For this reason, Irish politicians are happy because they can write a hundred laws per year with no benefit other than front-page material, and the Irish people are happy because they don't really observe or obey the hundred laws anyway.
