Northern Ireland Executive

The Northern Ireland Executive is the devolved government responsible for making decisions on local issues such as health, education, and transport in Northern Ireland. It operates under the UK government but has its own ministers who manage these services. The Executive was established to promote cooperation between different community groups and ensure local governance reflects the region's unique needs. It functions through various departments, with decisions made collectively by elected ministers. The Executive aims to maintain stability, promote economic growth, and serve all communities within Northern Ireland.
