We welcome claims from the public. Please submit a claim that you have seen, read or heard that would like fact checked by completing the following online form.

It would be helpful if you provide as much information as possible, such as date, source, and any particular reason why you’re sceptical of the claim.

Claims that are researched by FactCheckNI are done so only with publicly available sources. In order for FactCheckNI to research a claim, the claim must be:

• a statement made in public, which can be attributed to a specific person (e.g. a politician or campaigner) or organisation (e.g. a report)
• an assertion or allegation that can be validated or refuted (to a degree)
• based on past or present actions (i.e. not speculative about the future)

We cannot promise to check every claim that is suggested, but we do promise to read and consider all submissions.
