Where every figure comes from

Checked 14 October 2026against board config 2026-10, limits config 2026-10, Guidelines edition 2021.

Nothing on this site is hard-coded in a page. Every tool and guide reads one of three versioned configs in which each block names its Act or page, its sources and the date it was checked. This page is those files, in words.

How the reading is done

  • The Board’s site, the Judicial Council’s PDF and the revised Acts on the Law Reform Commission’s site allow crawlers and were read on 14 October 2026 with an honest user agent, never a headless browser or proxy.
  • The Irish Statute Book, gov.ie, the MIBI and courts.ie refused or did not answer automated reads on 14 October 2026; the figures taken from them are marked for a hand check below.
  • The Guidelines config is the whole 2021 document, 260 brackets, transcribed from the Council’s PDF and tested so that every section of the contents list is present and every range is in order. It is re-read whenever the Council publishes an edition.
  • The Board config is re-read on every fees regulation and every annual report; the limits config each quarter; the welfare figure every Budget. A weekly check flags anything not verified in 90 days.
  • Nothing here is scraped from Citizens Information, and no individual award is published beyond what the Board itself reports.
