evidence: In a report published on 20 May 2016, the Leave.EU campaign claimed that Northern Ireland is a net contributor to the EU, and Stormont would have saved £67 million in 2014/15 if the United Kingdom (UK) had not been in the European Union (EU). This figure was calculated by subtracting their estimates of the funding Northern Ireland received in the 2014/15 financial year from Northern Ireland’s approximate share of the UK’s overall contribution to the EU in 2014/15. [...] However, the claim that Northern Ireland is a net contributor to the EU is false. Leave.EU made this calculation by estimating Northern Ireland’s share of the UK’s overall contribution of £18.8 billion in 2014/15 by proportion of the population, amounting to £500 million. They claimed that over the course of that year the European Union contributed £300 million through farm subsides, and another £133 million in structural funds. By subtracting this £433 million of receipts, their result is a deficit of £67 million pounds.
