Ireland programme delivery verification pending

Existing Ireland programme records remain legacy discovery data until an official programme or offering is explicitly verified against a delivery campus. Institution presence is never used to infer programme delivery.

The catalogue gap is shown as verification pending rather than “0 programmes”. Verified delivery will appear only after explicit programme-offering-to-campus evidence is published.
