Northern Ireland Act

The Northern Ireland Act refers to legislation established by the UK Parliament that governs the governance of Northern Ireland. It outlines the powers and responsibilities of the Northern Ireland Assembly and Executive, including issues like devolved government, laws, and administration specific to Northern Ireland. The Act aims to promote peace, stability, and self-governance while ensuring alignment with broader UK laws. It also sets mechanisms for resolving disagreements and maintaining cooperation between Northern Ireland and the UK government, playing a key role in managing the region's political and administrative framework post-Good Friday Agreement.
