Initially the financial mishandling of an environmental heating scheme was the source of the impasse between the two main political parties. In a short period of time old tribal grievances emerged and became woven into arguments between the parties about who was responsible. The disagreements have been so deep that the viability of the Good Friday Agreement as a framework for governance is being questioned.
2018 - the twenty year anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement passed uneventfully and the Assembly borne from it was silent and empty. The prospect of a future Assembly has been twisted by and into the outcome of BREXIT.
2020 - 3 years after power sharing collapsed, the Northern Ireland Assembly has resumed under the same model of governance that contributed to its failure.
2022 - The Assembly has collapsed, The Northern Ireland Protocol, an outcome of BREXIT, which placed an customs border in the Irish Sea between Britain and Northern Ireland, fuelled loyalist tensions. In loyalist camps the protocol undermined Northern Irelands status in union of the United Kingdom.
