Northern Ireland Assembly

The Northern Ireland Assembly is a governing body responsible for making decisions on local issues such as health, education, and transportation within Northern Ireland. It was established to promote power-sharing between different communities, primarily unionists and nationalists, fostering cooperation and stability. The Assembly comprises elected representatives who debate and pass legislation, aiming to reflect the diverse views of the population. It operates under a devolved system, meaning Northern Ireland has its own government separate from the UK Parliament in Westminster, allowing local oversight while remaining part of the United Kingdom.
