	Secretary of State for Northern Ireland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The post of Secretary of State in effect fills two roles under the previous Stormont regime; the nominal head of the Northern Ireland executive, the Governor of Northern Ireland (the representative of Queen Elizabeth II) and the Prime Minister of Northern Ireland.
		The Secretary of State resides in Hillsborough Castle, the previous residence of the Governor and the Queen's official residence in Northern Ireland.
		Power was devolved back to Northern Ireland on January 1, 1974 to the Northern Ireland Assembly under Brian Faulkner, but this administration collapsed on May 29 after a widespread strike organised by the loyalist Ulster Workers' Council, who refused to countenance the power-sharing and All-Ireland aspects of the new administation.

	Northern Ireland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Northern Ireland covers 5,459 mi² (14,139 km²) in the northeast of the island of Ireland, about a sixth of the total area of the island, and has a population of 1,685,000 (April 2001) — between a quarter and a third of the island's total population.
		Northern Ireland was for many years the site of a bitter ethnic/religious campaign of violence between a minority of Nationalists (who were predominantly Catholic and wanted it to be reunified with the Republic of Ireland) and a majority of Unionists (who were predominantly Protestant and wanted it to remain part of the United Kingdom).
		Northern Ireland was covered by an ice sheet for most of the last ice age and on numerous previous occasions, the legacy of which can be seen in the extensive coverage of drumlins in Counties Fermanagh, Armagh, Antrim and particularly Down.
