In Ireland the rules require 30mA protection on all sockets outlets <32A too. Also water heaters, fixed appliances (other than the oven/hob)
The default earthing arrangement here is TN-C, but where TT is used, the whole house has to go on a higher rated RCD with the same 30mA RCD requirements for the final circuits specified in the normal rules.
Bathroom wiring rules have changed somewhat, in so far as the lighting circuits are now required to be RCD protected.
So far, no change on the lack of sockets and lightswitches in bathrooms though.
