Airlines already check docs at multiple stages. You can’t get on the aircraft without showing your passport.
The issue is people destroying their passports on the plane.
How will increasing fines stop people from destroying their passports?

Just to address the overall point of what impact this will have.
Ryanair has recently been trialing a system of photographing each non-EU customers ID, as they must have guessed that this is on the way.
Fines like this should encourage that system to be rolled out to every airline.
Its a good use of policy to prevent a known system leakage.

Traveled from London back to Dublin on Saturday.
I was not able to get onto my flight without scanning my passport. however when i Landed in Dublin, I spotted 2 sets of bathrooms before i reached passport control.
It’s not the airlines, There should be no bathroom facilities before passport control.

You’d swear the airlines were helping undocumented passengers get in here. This won’t make any difference whatsoever. We are getting increasing numbers while they are falling throughout Europe. Word is out Ireland will never deport you so they are coming in their droves.
Mass deportations of all rejected applications will solve this issue. Detention and deportation. This softly softly approach of self deportation is an absolute joke.

I flew from Dublin to Madrid last week and only showed an expired passport card.
I had to show my ID 3 times, and not once was it caught.
Maybe it was because I am white and Irish but it showed me that the passport checks are not rigorous enough.

Forgive my ignorance, but what is detering an asylum seeker from destroying their passport when they are processed and provided accommodation?

Good.
I don’t know how this would change anything.
