The Northern Ireland Act 2006 (c. 17) was an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom. It made provision in connection with the Northern Ireland Assembly. It was repealed by section 22 of the Northern Ireland (St Andrews Agreement) Act 2006.[2]
The legislation recalled the Northern Ireland Assembly to sit on 15 May 2006, with a requirement to form an executive by 24 November.[3] Not meeting the deadline would mean members of the Northern Ireland Assembly would lose their salaries and allowances.[4]
