Without a government or direct rule from Westminster, N Ireland is being run by civil servants instead of government ministers.

In stark contrast to the political stalemate, Royal Portrush Golf Club on the north coast is a hive of activity.

Olympic legend Lady Mary Peters says much more can be achieved when people come together as they do in sport."We've had so many people coming to Northern Ireland. Once they've been, they want to come back and I think that it does break down barriers. Further up the coast, two-and-a-half-year-old Madison was playing on the beach. There hasn't been a power-sharing government in her lifetime.But her dad, Dan Henderson, says there's no point restoring devolution unless the politicians stop behaving like children and lead.

Time to give Ireland back to the Irish.

Room for the homeless there then!

Really disappointing that a small group of people can ruin people's lives in this way. Time for Westminster to step and get things moving for the people again.

Yup. The GFA is used as a stick for brexit yet ironically the GFA is founded on shared power which has not been the case for 2.5 years. Highlights that the GFA is now void.

Proving that devolution in general is an unnecessary duplication of political structures and a waste of money.

...and yet the politicians continue to get paid... 🤦🏻‍♂️

That's politicians for you. Still, at least they're ignoring rather than bombing each other in Northern Ireland these days. That's progress of sorts I guess.

Hard to believe but it's actually good to talk 😟👍🤔
