What is the Northern Ireland Assembly?
The Northern Ireland Assembly is like a local parliament for Northern Ireland. It is made up of people called Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs). These MLAs are chosen by the public in elections. Their main job is to make decisions and create laws that affect people living in Northern Ireland.
How Does the Assembly Work?
The Assembly meets in a building called Parliament Buildings at Stormont in Belfast. When the MLAs meet, they discuss important issues. They also vote on new laws. The Assembly helps to manage things like health, education, and farming in Northern Ireland.
What are Acts (Laws)?

Why are Laws Important?
