Northern Ireland's decision to allow the devolution of policing and justice powers is an important development in the history of events there since the Good Friday Agreement in 1998. The party politics is also interesting, with the DUP having been key to the decision and the UUP disagreeing. David Cameron's decision to make an alliance with the UUP in this context looks interesting. Another feature that was noticeable with the Good Friday Agreement was the involvement of the Americans, in Tuesday's case Hillary Clinton and George W Bush were involved but to seemingly less effect.
