Council watch · money · registers · source-led record
Councillor Liam Browne (Independent, Cashel–Tipperary Local Electoral Area) is named here by public office only, as one of the eleven elected members of the Tipperary–Cahir–Cashel Municipal District. The payments below are the lawful statutory remuneration, allowances and expenses paid to elected members and published by Tipperary County Council under the Local Government Act. This page records what the Council's own quarterly registers print for this member. It draws no conclusion about the value of those payments or about the member's conduct. (Register spelling of the name: Liam BROWNE / Liam Browne.)

Component fields for 2025, as labelled by the Council
Each quarterly register prints the fields below for each member; this table sums the four printed values per field. The labels are the Council's own. "Sum of Annual Remuneration" is a printed field label, not an annual figure: its values are quarterly amounts (about €7,000–€8,400 per quarter for this member).

| Sum of Annual Remuneration | €30,932.08 |

Context: the district and the county
- The eleven Cahir–Cashel members' 2025 Total Payments fields sum to €545,385.07.
- Across all members of Tipperary County Council, the 159 printed Total Payments fields in the four 2025 registers sum to €1,855,337.83. That county figure is the site's arithmetic across the four registers; the registers publish no annual total.
- The eleven members are eleven of the Council's 39–40 members; their share (29.4%) is in line with headcount and is not evidence of anything beyond headcount.
Caveats that travel with every figure on this page
1. The Q3 2025 register's printed cover date reads "1st July 2024 to 30th September 2025". It is quoted here as printed. The amounts in that register are on the scale of a single quarter (county-wide €439,924.17, in line with the other three quarters); the Council has not published a correction and this site does not silently apply one. 2. The Q1 2025 register prints 39 member tables; Q2, Q3 and Q4 print 40. The county sum is across all printed tables. 3. "Sum of Annual Remuneration" is a mislabelled quarterly field (see above). The only defensible 2025 total is the sum of the four quarterly registers' printed Total Payments fields, and it is described here as such — not as an official annual total. 4. All figures are copied from the printed member tables; page numbers are PDF page indices in the files hashed below.
The family's position: Bronagh's family believes the public should be able to see, beside each member's published payments, the district's published road-death record and the bridge-repair record for the district those members represent: the Cahir–Cashel road-death record for this member's district (planned page) and the Killardry Bridge record. That is presented as the family's position, not as a finding about any member's knowledge, motive, responsibility or causation, and not as any comment on the payments themselves.
