How the Northern Ireland Assembly Works seminar
The Northern Ireland Assembly has now been up-and-running for over two years. It has a full legislative programme considering issues such as housing, local government reform, education and the devolution of policing and justice. The actions of local legislators now have a direct impact on organisations across the public, private and voluntary sectors. The Assembly’s committees have also full agendas looking into policy issues across all departments. In addition to calling Ministers to give evidence the Assembly’s committees have called senior civil servants, business leaders, church leaders, directors of NGOs and expert individuals. As the devolved Assembly continues to make its presence felt the Assembly will be central in influencing the future shape of Northern Ireland, and increasing numbers of individuals and organisations will need to interact with it.

This seminar offers those who have an interest in influencing the Assembly an insight into how the Assembly works. It is for both seasoned practitioners, who will benefit from the debate on how best to influence the Assembly, and those who are new to what goes on in Parliament Buildings.
