Stormont

Stormont refers to the Parliament Buildings in Belfast, Northern Ireland, where the Northern Ireland Assembly convenes. It is a symbol of regional governance, established as part of the Good Friday Agreement to provide a power-sharing government between unionists and nationalists. This arrangement aims to promote political stability and cooperation within Northern Ireland, allowing local representatives to make decisions on areas like education, health, and environment. Stormont serves as both the physical location and the governance framework that facilitates regional self-administration within the broader United Kingdom.
