How they were counted

Rule codes on sheet 'pia' of 'Central Bank of Ireland Taxonomy 2.2.2 Business Rules PIA and PIS' whose 'Severity and modules' column names module pias (208: 199 errors, 9 warnings). All rules in the file have 'Include in XBRL' = yes and 'Deactivated' = no.

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