The rules, on centralbank.ie

How they were counted

Rows with a 'Validation Desc' entry on the 'Validations' sheet of the 2026 template. The submission requirement also gives a non-exhaustive list of further checks the NCID team runs.

Counts are in the CBI's own unit, so they are not comparable with other regulators' counts.

Public data

Published only added up across firms. The Central Bank publishes National Claims Information Database reports (for example the annual Private Motor Report 2026) with market-wide premium, claims and cost data. No firm-by-firm data is published. Source
