Rival fans chanted about Queen Elizabeth II and the IRA
Chelsea and Shamrock Rovers have each been fined by UEFA over chants heard at their Conference League match last month.
Shamrock have been fined €10,000 (£8,450) for "transmitting a message that is not fit for a sports event" following chants about the death of Queen Elizabeth II at the match at Stamford Bridge on December 19.
Chelsea fans responded with an anti-IRA chant. The London club have also been fined €10,000 by UEFA's Control, Ethics and Disciplinary Body (CEDB).
The Blues thrashed Shamrock 5-1 to complete a perfect record in the Conference League group stage as they secured an automatic last-16 spot.
Shamrock finished 10th to earn a place in the knockout play-off round, where they will face Norwegian side Molde over two legs next month.
