 Articles - Lord Lieutenant of Ireland   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The Lord Lieutenant of Ireland (also known as the Viceroy or in the Middle Ages as the Lord Deputy) was the head of the Kingdom of England's (before the Act of Union 1707) or Kingdom of Great Britain's (after 1707) administration in Ireland.
The office was originally the central focus of English/British administration in Ireland under the Lordship of Ireland (1171-1541), the Kingdom of Ireland (1541-1800) and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland (1801-1922).
Two institutions were meant to join the two; a Council of Ireland (which was hoped would evolve into a working all-Ireland parliament) and the Lord Lieutenant who would be the nominal chief executive of both regimes, appointing both prime ministers and dissolving both parliaments.

 PR for Westminster elections in Northern Ireland?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Turnout across Northern Ireland as a whole was a uniform 80% in the referendum on the Good Friday Agreement in May 1998, and up to 20% lower in some areas in the Assembly election six weeks later.
The whole of Northern Ireland elects three members to the European Parliament by STV; each parliamentary constituency elects six members to the Northern Ireland Assembly; and the 582 members of the 26 local councils are elected from 101 electoral areas, each of which returns five, six or seven representatives.
An almost exact analogy is with the process of drawing up electoral units for local elections in Northern Ireland, where the priority is given to the basic building block, the ward, and the subsequent grouping of wards to form electoral units is practically a mere detail of administration.

Agriculture, once the most important sector, is now dwarfed by industry, which accounts for 45% of GDP, about 80% of exports, and employs 28% of the labor force.
