evidence: A Belfast Telegraph article noted that 5% of NI properties are currently at risk of flooding, and that DfI projections indicate this is going to increase by 33%. In saying that this means 38% of properties will be at risk of flooding, the newspaper has confused percentage increases with percentage-point increases. In fact, DfI modelling suggests around 6.7% of NI properties – almost 60,000 in total – will be at risk of flooding by 2080. The Belfast Telegraph article has since been updated.
