After a two-year break, the power-sharing government in Northern Ireland is set to resume in a matter of days after the British parliament approved updating trade regulations in the region following Brexit on Thursday.
Without holding formal votes, members of the House of Commons supported the adjustments, which included lowering the number of checks on goods coming into Northern Ireland from Britain. This resolved the Democratic Unionist Party’s (DUP) main grievance.
A crucial component of a 1998 peace agreement that ended decades of political and sectarian violence in Northern Ireland was the DUP’s formal call for a legislature meeting shortly after the vote to create a power-sharing administration.
Since the pro-British DUP withdrew in protest over the post-Brexit trade regulations, which it claimed established barriers with the rest of the United Kingdom and damaged Northern Ireland’s place in it, the region has been without a devolved administration.
Public sector workers seeking postponed salary rises have gone on widespread strikes in response to the government shutdown that has occurred in recent weeks.
