Facts
Assessment
Reliability Tier2
Tier two: a specialist Irish legal trade publication reporting the Blasphemy (Abolition of Offences and Related Matters) Act 2019's commencement and citing its provisions and effective date; the primary texts, the electronic Irish Statute Book and the Oireachtas bill page, both blocked automated access in this pass, so this trade-press account stands in for them.
