The job
Public liability isn’t required by law in Ireland, but virtually every contract demands it — and if a contractor’s cover has lapsed when something goes wrong, the gap becomes your problem. Automated reminders close it before work starts.
Irish public liability cover is commonly written at €1.3m, €2.6m or €6.5m — and councils, venues and main contractors each set their own minimum. Whatever the limit, the certificate still expires annually and has to be re-collected.
Across trades, cleaners and specialist subcontractors, no two certificates expire on the same day. A spreadsheet holds the list; it can’t send the reminder. COI Tracker does both.

No — there’s no single law in the Republic of Ireland that makes public liability insurance compulsory. In practice it’s required by almost every contract, and councils, venues and main contractors often set minimum limits (commonly €2.6m or €6.5m). COI Tracker tracks each contractor’s certificate and its expiry so you always have current proof on file.
The reliable way is one dashboard holding every contractor’s public liability (and employers’ liability where relevant) certificate, each tagged with its expiry date and automatic reminders before it lapses. COI Tracker replaces the spreadsheet — it organises and reminds, it does not verify cover, so confirm policies with the broker or insurer.
Irish cover is typically written at €1.3m, €2.6m or €6.5m — figures that date back to old Irish-pound conversions. The right limit depends on the client and contract; main contractors and public bodies usually specify a minimum. COI Tracker stores the limit and expiry per contractor so you can check both at a glance.
No. COI Tracker organises certificates of insurance and reminds you about their expiry dates — it does not verify coverage, assess adequacy, or provide insurance or legal advice. Always confirm cover directly with the insurer or broker.
Not legal or insurance advice. Verify your specific contract and policy requirements with a licensed broker or attorney.
