I am think of loading the list of MLA's just as I did for Holyrood and Cardiff Bay. Should I wait until after Nov. 26th???

It might be a thought to also include on the table a column with the state of the parties immediately prior to the 2003 elections - there were several defections and to some extent the 2003 elections merely ratified these (although the individual in question did not necessarily get re-elected themselves).

I note that the logo has a very long "alt" attribute, which is bad in terms of accessibility for the visually impaired. I assume the wikimedia system just uses the caption as the alt tag - is there any way around this, short of just changing the caption to "Logo of the Northern Ireland Assembly"? Apologies if I'm asking a very obvious question. -- Ryano 21:25, 6 November 2005 (UTC)
It's also the colour of the seats in the Assembly Chamber.
Under history should there be some brief mention of the Prior plan and 'rolling devolution'. I am just learning about NI politics but it seems as if something called a 'Northern Ireland Assembly' existed in some sense from October 1982 to May 1986. see [1] and [2] Is this correct and deserving of a sentence under Sunningdale? I could not find anything on wiki. Sjjb 20:55, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
Is the UK's Olympic team "Great Britain" or "Great Britain and Northern Ireland"?

Why does it appear that the (NI/Transitional) Assembly meetings always start with two minutes' silence? [3] Is it for attunement, like Green party meetings? – Kaihsu 22:14, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
Was suspension lifted on 26 March or not? This BBC article says, "An order signed by the NI secretary restarted devolution at midnight." Does this mean that suspension was lifted on 26 March, and then reapplied on the 27th after Paisley and Adams' announcement? -- Kwekubo 14:55, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

I've been updating the Composition: Opposition section. I suggest that the information about which parties have been in opposition and how many seats they have held would be better presented in a section detailing the change in all parties' seat counts and executive/opposition status since 1998, as presented in the Institute for Government post about the official opposition. I haven't learn how to create tables or graphics yet, so at this stage just pitching the idea in case anyone wants to take it up before I get there. samillar94 ( talk) 15:51, 6 March 2017 (UTC)

Can anyone fix the info box so the party colours and spread graphic match. Currently not all the colours in the seat distribution match they key colours. Some are slightly off and some very off, I.e a grey in the distribution but not in the key. Canterbury Tail talk 02:15, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
Under the Assembly Political Groups, GPNI, TUV, PBP, and two independent unionists are listed under "Opposition", with a link to the Northern Ireland Assembly Opposition page. While there is no denying that all those listed are in opposition, none are capable of forming an official opposition, which is what is linked to. Would it be appropriate to list them as Non-Official Opposition or to keep them listed as Opposition, but instead link to the Parliamentary opposition page? Many thanks.

In line with the Scottish Parliament and the Welsh Parliament, I am trying to put a specific date for the foundation of the 1998 NI Assembly, and I am getting two numbers from: http://www.niassembly.gov.uk/about-the-assembly/general-information/history-of-the-assembly/ Would the date the assembly is elected which is stated as 25 of June 1998 be the official founding date? Or would it be the first sitting? Which was 1 July 1998? B. M. L. Peters ( talk) 17:46, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
Should we still have the Irish name if it is unofficial and not used in english sources? A Tree In A Box ( talk) 12:09, 8 July 2021 (UTC)
The political stance of a party (whether it be Unionist, Nationalist, or anything else) is irrelevant when it comes to designation within the assembly, see
Desgination. On the first day the Assembly meets after an election, MLAs sign the Register and designate themselves as ‘nationalist’ or ‘unionist’ . . . MLAs who do not wish to designate as ‘nationalist’ or ‘unionist’ are considered to be ‘others’. The Alliance Party, Green Party and People before Profit Alliance do not designate as unionists or nationalists

Both the Scottish Parliament and Welsh Senedd have articles ( here and here) giving changes among members elected on the lists i.e not through by-elections (there are separate articles about those). Currently, in each NI Assembly term article there's a list of co-opted members: I think it would be a good idea to have this information consolidated in a single article as the other devolved legislatures do. 217.155.59.206 ( talk) 10:47, 5 December 2023 (UTC)
