About and independence

Party Lines NI is an independent public-interest project that makes Northern Ireland party communications discoverable and comparable.

It is not affiliated with, funded by or endorsed by any political party, the Northern Ireland Assembly or any government. It does not editorialise or judge which parties deserve praise or criticism; classifications describe what releases observably say and do, using the same rubric for every party.

It is built for citizens, journalists, political parties, campaigners and researchers. Everything shown can be traced to the party’s original release, and the data is available as CSV, JSON, RSS and through an MCP server for AI assistants. See data and API.

The releases are the work and copyright of the parties that published them. This site stores only metadata and links to the originals and to Internet Archive copies.
