Northern Ireland Act (1998)
The Northern Ireland Act 1998 was part of the constitutional reform program of the then ruling Labor Party under Tony Blair in the United Kingdom . The full title reads: "An Act to make new provision for the government of Northern Ireland for the purpose of implementing the agreement reached at multi-party talks on Northern Ireland set out in Command Paper 3883."
The Northern Ireland Act 1998 was created in response to the Good Friday Agreement between the Government of the Republic of Ireland , the Government of Great Britain and the parties in Northern Ireland of April 10, 1998 . It replaced the Government of Ireland Act of 1920 and established new regulations that were in line with European Union law and the Northern Ireland Peace Process.
Law regulates the establishment and composition of the Northern Ireland Assembly and its responsibilities. It also contained the provisions for the election of the First Minister and Deputy First Minister of Northern Ireland , which were abolished in 2006 by the St. Andrews Agreement. Since then, the First Minster and his deputy have been determined on the basis of the Northern Ireland (St Andrews Agreement) Act 2006 .
