At Dublin Metropolitan District Court on 28 November, 2016 Topaz (Local Fuels) Limited pleaded guilty to one charge of sending an unsolicited marketing text message without consent and one charge of not providing the recipient with a valid means of opting out of the receipt of further marketing messages. In lieu of a conviction and fine, the Court ordered the defendant to contribute €500 to Our Lady’s Children’s’ Hospital Crumlin by 12 December, 2016 and it adjourned the matter for two weeks. The company agreed to discharge the prosecution costs incurred by the Data Protection Commissioner. At the adjourned hearing the defendant produced proof of payment of the charitable donation and the Court struck out the charges.
