How the record holds up
The standards behind every line.
A public record is only as strong as the rules it holds itself to. These are the standards every case is built against, in plain language, with nothing hidden.
01
Independence
TooLittle, TooLate.ie is not affiliated with any political party, union, employer, or government body. No advertising. No sponsorship. No editorial influence by any of the actors named in the record.
02
Source-led
Every claim on a case page traces back to a public source: WRC and Labour Court records, Oireachtas transcripts, FOI returns, official statements, or reporting from credible newsrooms. If a fact cannot be sourced, it is not published.
03
Fairness
Each case carries both what workers said and what officials said. Statements are paraphrased only where the original is paywalled or unlinkable; otherwise they are presented in the language used at the time and credited to the originating source.
04
Verification
Cases marked as verified have been cross-checked against at least one independent source of record. Cases still under review are flagged so readers can see exactly where they stand.
05
Plain language
The record is written so anyone can read it, not just policy professionals. Jargon is avoided unless the term is the term of art in the original source, in which case it is used and defined.
06
Corrections
When a record is wrong, it is corrected and the correction is logged in public. The corrections page lists every change made, the date, and what was changed.
