Northern Ireland devolution refers to Northern Ireland returning to self-government through a power-sharing arrangement between Sinn Fein and the DUP. The Protestant DUP agenda has included keeping Northern Ireland as a part of the United Kingdom, while the Catholic Sinn Fein sect has pushed for Northern Ireland to unite with the Ireland. The agreement is the result of the first face-to-face talks between the two groups, as they had previously only negotiated via third parties.
