What this page covers

Every periodic return the Central Bank of Ireland lists for the firms it supervises: 145 returns, of which 96 are national (the Bank's own; group names end '(national)') and 49 are EU-harmonised returns that the Bank lists and collects (group names end '(EU, EBA)', '(EU, ESMA)', '(EU, EIOPA)', '(EU, ECB)', '(EU, ECB and EBA)' or '(EU, ESAs)'). For EU returns this entry records only the Irish facts (filing route, the Bank's deadlines and national options, the Bank's own documents and data quality checks); the templates and EU validation rules are in the library's EBA and EIOPA entries, or with ESMA. Banks, credit unions, investment firms, funds and fund service providers: the returns the Bank lists for credit institutions, credit unions, investment firms (MiFID firms, IIA non-retail investment business firms and market operators of regulated markets), investment funds (UCITS, AIFs and money market funds) and fund service providers (fund administrators, depositaries, UCITS management companies, AIF management companies and AIFMs). The list is anchored on the Portal's Returns Guidance index and the sector pages it links: Reporting Requirements for Credit Institutions and its Schedule of Reporting Dates 2026; Reporting Requirements for Credit Unions; Funds Reporting Requirements (with the DIFR and DMM pages, the 2018 Regulatory Reporting Guidance and the Fund Metadata Return guidance); the reporting requirements pages and tables for fund administrators, depositaries, UCITS management companies, AIF management companies and AIFMs; the MiFID Requirements page and its Reporting Requirements for MiFID Investment Firms list; the IIA Non-Retail reporting page and list; the Regulated Markets reporting page; and the Fund Service Providers page that publishes the Central Bank of Ireland XBRL Taxonomy. National returns (group names end '(national)') are the Bank's own: for banks the new lending, distressed debt, related party lending, deposit guarantee, LSI credit risk, sectoral limits and conduct of business returns; all credit union returns; for investment firms and fund service providers the returns in the Bank's own XBRL taxonomy (FINREP+, PIMD, monthly metrics, AUM data, ICAAP, capital adequacy and minimum capital reports, asset concentration, non-Irish fund assets, outsourcing) and the conduct, client asset, ownership and accounts returns; for funds the financial statements, FDI, fund metadata, daily fund (DIFR) and daily money market fund (DMM) returns; and the market operators' financial statements. EU returns (group names end '(EU, EBA)' or '(EU, ESMA)') are EU-harmonised reports that the Bank lists and collects: COREP, FINREP, large exposures, liquidity (LCR, ALMM, NSFR), asset encumbrance, IRRBB, FRTB, funding plans, benchmarking, G-SII, resolution, ESG, instant payments, remuneration data (EBA), the DORA register of information (all three ESAs), IFR investment firm reports (EBA), and AIFMD Annex IV, MMF Article 37, MiFIR transaction reporting, systematic internaliser notifications, CSDR settlement internaliser and trading venue position reports (ESMA). Variants of one return that use the same templates (solo and consolidated, or annual, interim, quarterly and monthly versions of FINREP+) are recorded as one return. Insurers, payment and e-money institutions, retail intermediaries, retail credit and credit servicing firms, high cost credit providers, bureaux de change and crypto-asset service providers: the returns the Central Bank lists for insurers and reinsurers (Solvency II firms including captives and groups, and the few firms outside Solvency II), payment institutions, e-money institutions, retail intermediaries (insurance, investment and mortgage intermediaries), high cost credit providers (formerly moneylenders), retail credit firms, credit servicing firms, bureaux de change and crypto-asset service providers. Anchored on these Central Bank lists: the insurance 'Reporting Requirements' page, the 'National Specific Templates' page, the insurance statistics reporting page, the page for insurers outside Solvency II, the Temporary Run-off Regime page, the NCID Reporting Requirements 2026 page, the 'Reporting Requirements' pages for payment institutions, e-money institutions, brokers and retail intermediaries and high cost credit providers, the retail intermediary 'Annual Online Returns' page, the PSD2 reporting page, the payment statistics page, the MiCAR 'Regulatory Reporting' page, the sector-specific ML/TF risk evaluation questionnaire page, the outsourcing registers page and the mortgage arrears statistics release. EU returns (11): the Solvency II quarterly and annual QRTs for solo firms and groups, financial stability reporting, the SFCR, RSR and ORSA (EU, EIOPA), the ECB statistical add-ons (EU, ECB) and the two semi-annual payment statistics and fraud returns (EU, ECB and EBA). For these the library's EIOPA and EBA entries hold the templates; this file records how Irish firms file them, the Central Bank's deadlines, national options and its own data quality checks. All other returns are national: the Irish national specific templates (annual, half-year and quarterly), SNST.1, the internal model returns, the Low/Medium Low ORSA template, the Domestic Actuarial Regime opinion and peer review, directors' certifications, the auditor's SFCR report, the insurance conduct of business return, the unclaimed life certificate, NCID claims returns, auditors' statutory duty confirmations and management letters, recovery plans, run-off regime forms, outsourcing registers, AML/CFT risk questionnaires, the non-life returns of insurers outside Solvency II, the PIA, PIS, EIA and EIS XBRL returns, annual accounts, the PSD2 operational and security risk assessment, the retail intermediary annual return, the mortgage arrears return of retail credit and credit servicing firms, and the crypto-asset service providers return. The Central Bank lists no periodic return of its own for high cost credit providers (its page says they may be asked for information when required), bureaux de change, or retail credit and credit servicing firms beyond the mortgage arrears return; audited accounts of those firms and of investment intermediaries are only made available on request. The DORA register of information is recorded once, for all sectors. Left out: statistical returns collected by the Bank's Statistics Division for the ECB (for example the money market and investment fund return and banking statistics) and AnaCredit; STE templates sent directly to the ECB; the Central Credit Register; ad hoc and event-driven notifications and applications (breach and incident reports, regulatory reports of fund breaches and depositary reports, acquiring transactions, capital contributions, passporting, algorithmic trading notifications, subordinated loan agreements, internal audit documents, auditors' findings reports, risk assessment material, other documents, outsourcing notifications, PRIIPs KID filings, MMFR stress test and threshold reports, MiFIR error and omission notifications); fitness and probity returns; AML registers (beneficial ownership, ISBAR); covered bond regulatory notices; and, for the insurance, payment, intermediary, credit and crypto sectors, event-driven notifications (pre-defined events, breach and error reports, PSD2 major incident reports, denial of access reports under Articles 36 and 68 PSD2, MiCAR suspicious transaction and order reports and the CASP breach, error and incident form); returns that cover every sector other than the DORA register (the annual PCF confirmation return under Fitness and Probity, Central Credit Register submissions, DORA major ICT incident reports and the ICT self-assessment tool); the Insurance Compensation Fund levy statement, which is filed with the Revenue Commissioners; the NCID business interruption data request of 2025; the 2023 safeguarding audit of payment and e-money firms; the PSQ and PSM payment statistics, which carry no fraud data; and the EBA's MiCA reporting for issuers of asset-referenced and e-money tokens, which the Central Bank page does not list as a return (it says it has not approved or been notified of any such white paper from an Irish issuer). Not yet covered: money transmission businesses, debt management firms, crowdfunding service providers, PEPP providers, and trust or company service providers and other Schedule 2 firms. Source

How firms file

  • Central Bank of Ireland Portal (formerly the Online Reporting System, ONR)

    The Bank's web portal where banks, financial firms and other regulated entities submit their regulatory returns, file regulatory documents and provide data, and where authorised users view or request changes to institution details. Users register for a Portal account and set up second-factor authentication. Depending on the return, firms complete a web form or upload an XBRL, XML, Excel or PDF file (see each return). Source

  • MiFIR transaction reporting Machine to Machine channel

    An automated channel, alongside file upload on the Online Reporting System, through which investment firms, approved reporting mechanisms and trading venue operators send MiFIR transaction report files (zipped ISO 20022 XML) and poll for XML feedback files. Source

  • Online Reporting System (ONR), now linked as 'Credit Union Auditor Reporting'

    The Central Bank's older web-based reporting system at onlinereporting.cbfsai.ie. The payment statistics validation rules, the NCID templates, the SNST.1 validations and the insurance conduct of business notes still refer to it, and the Central Bank site now links it as 'Credit Union Auditor Reporting'. Credit union auditors log in there; it was not opened (login required). Source

  • Email to the Central Bank

    Auditors of payment and e-money institutions send statutory duty confirmations and management letters to paymentservicessupervision@centralbank.ie; auditors of investment intermediaries send statutory duty confirmations to statutoryduty@centralbank.ie; life insurers on a freedom of services basis without Portal access send the unclaimed life certificate to insurance@centralbank.ie.

Reuse terms for the CBI's documents

Central Bank of Ireland: Re-use of Public Sector Information page and licence (Circular 12/2016, Annex 1), and website Disclaimer (copyright), checked 11 November 2026. In the CBI's words:

All of the information on this website is the copyright of the Central Bank of Ireland unless expressly indicated otherwise. However, as envisaged by the Directive and Regulations, you are free to re-use the information on this website without seeking prior permission, subject to the conditions set out in this Licence and to the disclaimer below. [...] Users may: Copy, modify, publish, translate, adapt, distribute or otherwise use the Information in any medium, mode or format for any lawful purpose. Users must: Acknowledge the source of the Information by including any attribution statement specified by the Information Provider(s) and, where possible, provide a link to this licence. [...] This licence does not grant you any right to use the Information in a way that suggests any official status or that the Information Provider endorses any product or other use of the Information. [Disclaimer page:] You are granted permission (a license) to: [...] create links to the Central Bank of Ireland's homepage, save files, distribute and reproduce pages - provided the source is stated and the material is not distorted.
Can others share copies?
Allowed with conditions.
Conditions
Acknowledge the Central Bank of Ireland as the source and, where possible, link to the licence (https://www.centralbank.ie/docs/default-source/ftr/ftr-1-3-licence.pdf); do not distort the material; do not suggest official status or endorsement. The licence allows commercial re-use. It does not cover personal information, third-party rights or the Bank's name, crest and logos. The Bank's Disclaimer page (https://www.centralbank.ie/fns/disclaimer) still says its consent is needed to copy or adapt its material, but grants a licence to save files and distribute and reproduce pages if the source is stated and the material is not distorted, and points to the re-use page.
What the library does
Keeps copies of the documents, as the terms allow. The Bank's re-use page lets anyone re-use the information on its website, commercially or not, without asking first, under the Irish public sector information licence, which follows CC BY 4.0. So copies of the Bank's own documents are kept, with attribution. EU legal texts and EBA or EIOPA material are under their publishers' terms and are not copied here.

Notice the CBI's terms ask for: Contains Irish Public Sector Information from the Central Bank of Ireland (https://www.centralbank.ie), copyright Central Bank of Ireland, re-used under the Bank's licence for re-use of public sector information (https://www.centralbank.ie/fns/re-use-of-public-sector-information). This library summarises it in plain English and links the originals; the Central Bank of Ireland does not endorse this library.

What could not be verified

Said plainly, so nobody relies on a fact the sources do not give.

  • New Lending Return, Distressed Debt Monitoring, Deposit Guarantee Return and Less Significant Institutions Credit Risk Return: the 2026 schedule lists them with dates, but no template, guidance or format was found on the credit institutions pages or by web search on 2026-11-11, so their content and file format are not recorded.
  • Credit institutions schedule (schedule-of-reporting-dates.xls?sfvrsn=dc19b1d_2, linked from the reporting requirements page) redirects to a file of the same name under .../reporting-requirements/ (sfvrsn=dc19b1d_8). Its remittance dates are stored as day-month values; the year was taken from the schedule's title (2026).
  • Report on Sectoral Limits: the page and template do not state the reporting frequency or who must file; the 'Impairment Validations' file linked under it describes checks on impairment templates against COREP, not this report, and was not counted.
  • Conduct of Business Return for credit institutions: the notes on compilation date from October 2014 and describe an earlier layout than the current Banking COBR template (sheets A to G); the Portal filing route is not stated on the reporting page.
  • EBA returns (COREP, FINREP and others): the CRD IV XBRL File Upload guide (V1.8, June 2023) describes XBRL-XML uploads; whether the Portal also accepts xBRL-CSV for later EBA framework releases was not stated on the pages read. IRRBB, G-SII, ESG and instant payments return file names are not in that guide.
  • IFR returns (Class 2, Class 3, group capital test, threshold) and EBA remuneration data collections: the Bank's pages link the EBA templates and guidelines but do not state the file format or Portal return type, so formats are recorded as not stated.
  • Resolution reporting (RE1 to RE3): the upload guide names the return types and the schedule gives a contact address, but no frequency or deadline was found on the pages read.
  • ICCL Report: its guidance is on the Investor Compensation Company's website (www.investorcompensation.ie), whose terms were not read, so it was not fetched and the report's content is not described.
  • Investments Product Template: the guidance describes an Excel template with a Rule Validation tab, but the template file itself was not found on the MiFID pages.
  • Prudential Return, Year End Return and Annual Compliance Statement for credit unions are Portal web forms; their fields and checks are not published, so templates and validation rules are recorded as not published. The Portal (portal.centralbank.ie) and the credit union auditor reporting site (onlinereporting.cbfsai.ie) need a login and were not opened.
  • UCITS annual KIID update return: listed in the 2018 Regulatory Reporting Guidance but not on the current funds reporting page; whether it is still scheduled after the move to PRIIPs KIDs was not confirmed, so it is not recorded as a return.
  • Regulatory Reporting Guidance for funds (Vol 4.0, June 2018) is old; deadlines for annual and interim financial statements, the FDI return and auditor confirmations are taken from it as the Bank still links it from the funds reporting page.
  • AIFMD and MMF returns: ESMA's own XSDs, templates and validation files are on esma.europa.eu, which was not fetched (its terms were not read for this task); only the Central Bank's guidance and error list were used.
  • Commodity position reports ('Market Surveillance SI Upload' and 'CDE Allowances Position Return'): only the MiFID list describes them; no Central Bank guidance, format or template was found.
  • Market operators: the Regulated Markets reporting page lists only annual audited and monthly financial statements; whether market operators also file PIMD (the taxonomy has a regulated markets table PM_06.00) is not stated on that page.
  • Validation rule counts for Central Bank taxonomy returns come from 'CBI 2.4 Business rules.xlsx' and 'Deactivated Validation Rules 2.4'; returns whose latest module is in an earlier package are counted from the same file, which covers every framework in taxonomy 2.4.
  • No firm-level data from any return in this part was found on the Bank's website; the only published dataset found from these returns is the aggregate Financial Conditions of Credit Unions report.
  • Investor Money Assurance Report: the fund service provider reporting tables cite the Investor Money Requirements as Part 7 of S.I. No. 604 of 2017, while the Client Assets page says they are now in Part 7 of the Investment Firms Regulations 2023 (S.I. No. 10 of 2023); the deadline is not stated.
  • Several returns that the lists name are shared by investment firms and fund service providers (PIMD, monthly metrics, ICAAP, ICCL report, annual ownership confirmation, monthly client asset report); they are recorded once, under the investment firm prefix, with each sector's deadline in the text.
  • Two links on the credit institutions page (RPL and large exposures new clients schedules, .xls) redirect to .xlsx files; the recorded size and SHA-256 are of the files served on 2026-11-11.
  • DORA register of information is a cross-sector EU return (all financial entities subject to DORA); it is recorded once, for all sectors, as dora-register-of-information, with the facts the credit institutions schedule and the Bank's DORA page give.
  • Solvency II quantitative reporting dates 2026 (PDF): the tables are images, read visually on 2026-11-11; no machine-readable copy exists.
  • EU returns: the Central Bank pages cite Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2450 and, for financial stability reporting, Guideline 16 of EIOPA's Guidelines; these references may be out of date. The library's EIOPA entries give the current EU texts.
  • Financial stability reporting, ECB add-ons, SFCR and ORSA: the Central Bank pages checked give no submission dates of their own for these returns.
  • Insurance NSTs: NST 1.7.0 (December 2024) extends EIOPA taxonomy 2.8.2. The NST page shows no newer release, so whether a new NST version is planned for later EIOPA taxonomies could not be checked. The half-year (srsg) deadline is not spelled out.
  • Insurance conduct of business return: the reporting page calls it the 'Annual Online Conduct of Business Return', while the notes on compilation (December 2017) and the template say it is bi-annual with a 20 business day deadline. Frequency recorded from the notes; which firms currently file it is not stated beyond the 2017 pilot with insurers with a significant retail presence.
  • Peer review of technical provisions: the Domestic Actuarial Regime (2018) says the report goes to the Central Bank on request, while the insurance reporting page says these reports should be submitted via the Portal. CP171 (July 2026) proposes changes to the regime; no final text was found.
  • Actuarial opinion on technical provisions, directors' certifications, the auditor's SFCR report, recovery plans, annual accounts of payment and e-money institutions and the run-off regime forms of intermediaries: the pages checked do not name a filing route or file format.
  • Unclaimed life certificate: the reporting page says the certificate and the Return of Funds or Nil Return go through the Portal from June 2024, but also that the Return of Funds or Nil Return goes to the NTMA. The certificate link ends in .pdf but serves a Word file.
  • Insurers outside Solvency II: the only guidance listed is for non-life quarterly (January 2010) and annual (January 2008) returns. No current templates, no list of life or reinsurance returns for these firms, and no count of firms were found; whether the forms are still used as described could not be confirmed beyond the page calling them ongoing requirements.
  • Online Reporting System versus Portal: older documents (SNST.1 validations, NCID templates, payment statistics validation rules, COBR notes, NST release notes, TRR insurers form) refer to the Online Reporting System, while current pages say returns go through the Central Bank Portal. The brokers reporting page still links onlinereporting.cbfsai.ie while the Annual Online Returns page says the RIAR is filed on the Portal.
  • Intermediaries REQ: the REQ page says only XML submissions are accepted, but the intermediary guidance notes (v1.0) say the REQ is submitted in Excel and the zip contains no XSD. Format recorded as Excel from the guidance notes.
  • PSD2 major incident reporting: the PSD2 page still describes it, while the DORA page says financial entities subject to DORA have reported major ICT-related incidents under DORA since 17 January 2025. Left out as event-driven; how the two interact for payment and e-money firms was not checked.
  • Mortgage arrears return (MAQ): no template, instructions or filing format for the return were found on the pages checked; only the statistical release, its explanatory notes and the 2026 schedule of dates.
  • Payment and e-money institution XBRL returns: the PIA and EIA templates have only codes as sheet names; template names were read from the table labels in the Central Bank of Ireland Taxonomy 2.2.2 (version folder 2023-10-31). The 'CBI Taxonomy 2.1 XBRL File Upload Guidance' is listed only under previous taxonomy versions.
  • Payment statistics: the 'Reduced Reporters - Institution List' and the internal consistency checks workbook were not opened. Validation counts are taken from the online reporting rules workbook only.
  • Low/Medium Low ORSA template: validations are built into column H of the workbook and were not counted.
  • REQs for life insurers, payment and e-money institutions and CASPs publish only an XSD; no business validation rules were found.
  • No public list of Portal or Online Reporting System return types was found: the Portal help page (https://www.centralbank.ie/regulation/central-bank-portal/portal-help-centre/returns) says each institution sees its own return types after logging in. The list of returns here is built from the sector pages named in the scope.
  • Returns that apply to every sector are not recorded, except the DORA register of information (recorded once as dora-register-of-information; the EU definition is eba/dora): the annual PCF confirmation return (Fitness and Probity), Central Credit Register submissions, DORA major ICT incident reports and the ICT self-assessment tool.
  • Sectors not covered: money transmission businesses, debt management firms, crowdfunding service providers, PEPP providers, home reversion firms (listed with retail credit firms but with no return found), Schedule 2 firms and trust or company service providers (which have a REQ).
