Since 1998, Northern Ireland has devolved government within the United Kingdom.
 The government and Parliament of the United Kingdom are responsible for reserved and excepted matters.
 Reserved matters are a list of policy area (such as civil aviation, units of measurement, and human genetics), which the Westminster Parliament may devolve to the Northern Ireland Assembly at some time in future.
 Excepted matters (such as international relations, taxation and elections) are never expected to be considered for devolution.
 On all other matters, the Northern Ireland Executive together with the 108-member Northern Ireland Assembly may legislate and govern for Northern Ireland.
 Additionally, devolution in Northern Ireland is dependent upon participation by members of the Northern Ireland Executive in the North/South Ministerial Council, which co-ordinates areas of co-operation (such as agriculture, education and health) between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland.
