Evidence (2024-09-26): It's close to five years since Britain left the EU but many UK travellers are still being tripped up by the passport validity rules that came into force since Brexit. [...] Though British citizens can enter the Schengen area with three months of validity on their passports plus the length of their trip, the UK government recommends that they have six months validity. [...] Some countries - including many in Asia and Africa - require UK citizens to have six months of validity on their passports from the date of departure. China, Singapore, and Egypt fall into this category.

Evidence (2024-03-29): Since Brexit, the rules on passport validity for British visitors to the European Union have tightened. [...] While the UK was in the European Union, British passports were valid up to and including their expiry date for travel within the EU. But since the end of the Brexit transition phase, British passport holders are treated as "third country nationals" with stipulations about passport issue and expiry dates – together with limits on the length of stay almost everywhere in Europe.

Evidence (2018-12-19): If the UK leaves the EU without a deal, British passport holders will be considered third country nationals by countries within the Schengen area after 29 March 2019. [...] Since 2001, some adult British passports were issued with a validity longer than 10 years. If you renewed your passport before it expired, you were allowed to have the time left on your old passport added to your new passport. The maximum validity period possible was 10 years and 9 months. This means you can’t use the expiry date to check if your adult passport will be valid under the new rules. Since the beginning of September 2018, extra validity was no longer added to passports. The maximum validity for an adult UK passport is now 10 years, and 5 years for a child passport. We have made this change to follow recommendations set out by the International Civil Aviation Organisation and to provide clarity about passport validity in the future.

Evidence (2022-02-26): An Instagram post claimed that if a UK passport issued before the UK left the EU had additional months for its validity, then those extra months are no longer valid. The post included an example of a passport issued on 21 June 2012, with an expiry date of 21 December 2012; the revised expiry date is 21 June 2012. [...] Before the United Kingdom left the European Union on 31 January 2020, and during the transition period that ended on 31 December 2020, British passports were accepted for travel to all other countries in the European Union regardless of the duration of the passport or the amount of time remaining before the expiry of the passport.

Evidence (2024-01-01): Since the UK left the European Union in 2020, UK passport holders are now seen as ‘third-country nationals’ by EU and Schengen countries. This means the entry rules have changed. And many UK holidaymakers are still being caught out by them. Passports issued after 2018 are valid for exactly 10 years. But if your passport was issued before September 2018, it might be valid for up to 10 years and nine months. This is because, before 2018, the passport office would add up to nine extra months from your old passport to your new one.

Evidence (2024-06-25): UK travellers used to be able to carry up to nine months left on an old passport over to a new one. This meant that a passport could be valid for more than 10 years.

Evidence (2023-05-03): "Your passport must have been issued in the past 10 years at the time of entering the EU. Legally, you’re also required to have at least three months left on your passport at the time you plan on exiting the EU. If you have a holiday planned this summer, check your passport now to make sure it meets all the requirements for your destination, so you don’t risk being turned away at the airport." [...] She adds: "Despite the legal requirement being three months, UK travellers are strongly advised by the European Commission and the UK government to have no less than six months on the end of their passports. This is because some border guards believe that people tend to stay in the EU for longer than they say and so they’re reluctant to grant you entry if you have less than six months." Countries such as Romania, which is in Europe but outside the Schengen zone, stipulate that UK passport holders are required to have at least six months on their passports to enter the country. It is by no means alone.

Claim: Since 2011 the Sinn Féin Education Minister John O’Dowd has “improved educational outcomes for the most disadvantaged”, and consequently “58.5% of children receiving Free School Meals (FSM) now obtain 5 GCSEs A*-C, compared to 31.5% previously.” (Sinn Fein, 2016-01-01)
Evidence (2016-01-01): The claim fails to distinguish between students that are eligible for Free School Meals and those who actually receive them. However, once corrected for this inaccuracy, it can be substantiated and verified by data from the Department of Education. In fact, there have been even greater improvements in performance among Free School Meal Eligible (FSME) students.

Evidence (2022-02-26): In their 2016 Assembly Election Manifesto, Sinn Fein highlighted the success of the Education Minister, John O’Dowd, by claiming that the rate of children that obtain 5 GCSEs A*-C has risen from 31.5% to 58.5% among Free School Meals (FSM) recipients. This would be particularly significant as a marker of improvement in performance among disadvantaged students, who have consistently scored at a lower level than those not eligible for FSM. [...] Improving GCSE results among Free School Meal Eligible (FSME) students FSM eligibility has been used as a standard for distinguishing between the performance among students who are disadvantaged and consequently often struggle to achieve marks on par with other students. The statistic being cited by Sinn Fein in their manifesto refers to a Statistical Press Release from the Department of Education on the qualifications achieved by school leavers in 2012/13. This report demonstrates that among FSME students, 58.5% achieved 5 GCSE’s A*-C, while the rate among non-FSME students stood at 83.1%. Corresponding figures are only available dating back to 2003/04, though DENI has informed us that the rate of 31.5% (per Sinn Fein manifesto claim) was last recorded in the 2001/02 academic year.

Evidence (2024-02-04): Sinn Féin’s O’Dowd is a former Minister of Education in the Northern Executive, and enjoys senior standing within his party. [...] The former chef, a native of Banbridge, Co Down was first elected to the Northern Assembly in 2003. He served as Minister for Education from 2011 until 2016.

He held that post for six weeks alongside DUP First Minister Peter Robinson.

Evidence (2014-03-21): We asked Education Minister John O’Dowd some key questions about the new funding scheme – including what checks are made on schools’ spending. This was his response: [...] John O’Dowd: There has been an increase in funding to Irish-medium schools since last year. There are a number of reasons for this, including the growth in enrolments at Irish-medium schools – enrolments have risen by almost 6% over the past year compared to less than 0.5% across all other schools. [...] John O’Dowd: Whilst there was strong support for the principle of directing additional funds to support our most deprived pupils, this was matched by the very strong view that schools in receipt of additional money should be able to demonstrate its impact. I am fully supportive of this. Individual schools and their Boards of Governors will need to give careful consideration to how this additional money can best be used to address the individual needs of these children. There is a need to implement robust accountability mechanisms whilst still being mindful of the need not to overburden schools with additional bureaucracy.
