There is no real UK or NI constitution (although the Belfast Agreement is one in a way). It is all based on statute law, tradition and precedent.

Maybe Victor could answer this... ? :dunno: <edit>doesnt matter</edit>

with the Belfast Agreement not being fulfilled - can it be called the northern ireland constitution?

<edit>
just been informed the Belfast Agreement can NOT be classified as a constitution - the UK has never had one - no 'set of rules' was set up by the UK, therefore as the *north is part of the UK* - we never had one.

the republic in the other hand got one way the Republic was set up.

> tut tut superconor - could have posted it in the north
