Abstract

On 3 February, the North’s devolved institutions were restored - two years after they were
collapsed by the DUP. Local and world media once again crammed into the grand foyer of
Stormont’s ‘Parliament Buildings’ to herald the return of the most fragile of governments. In a
building renowned for false dawns, media fanfare suggested there was at least some hope that
the new Executive would immediately set about tackling the extensive to-do list that had
accumulated in its absence.
