Recorded sources
3 sources for · 1 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Northern Ireland is a constituent country of the United Kingdom?

Yes. Two peer-reviewed sources state that the United Kingdom is made up of four constituent countries or parts, including Northern Ireland. One reference source notes that some official lists instead label Northern Ireland a 'province', so the terminology is not uniform.
