Legal notices have been served to 13 operators of illegal streaming services, or 'dodgy boxes'.
The Federation Against Copyright Theft served the notices across Dublin, Cork, Donegal, Offaly, Limerick, Louth, Clare, Westmeath and Laois.
They were delivered in person, by post and through email.
The notices resulted in services being shut down, deleted social media profiles, terminated subscriptions and paid settlements agreed.
