The Northern Ireland Executive

The Northern Ireland Executive is the devolved government responsible for local governance within Northern Ireland. It is made up of elected ministers who oversee areas such as health, education, economy, and justice. Created through the Good Friday Agreement, it operates alongside the UK government but has authority over certain regional issues. The Executive promotes cooperation between different political parties and aims to deliver public services, develop policies, and support economic growth. Its formation reflects Northern Ireland’s unique political landscape, balancing shared power among unionists and nationalists to maintain peace and stability.
