About Receipt Brief
Evidence for a clearer conversation.
An independent source of clear, humanely presented analysis on immigration statistics, claims, and public information.
Receipt Brief currently examines public claims, information gaps and administrative evidence relating to immigration in Ireland.
How we work
The claim.
The evidence.
The context.
The gap.
Clear, humane information for a better-informed and fairer Ireland.
Independent by design
Receipt Brief is a small, independently run project — not directed by political parties, government bodies or commercial interests.
Founder and Editor
Stephanie Vallance
Receipt Brief was founded and is edited by Stephanie Vallance. The project grew from a belief that public conversations about immigration need clearer evidence, better context, and more honest acknowledgment of what is not publicly known.
