Reform of Stormont: Options for Discussion


Listen Later

Talk of possible reforms to the Stormont institutions has been growing recently, spurred by concerns about repeated institutional collapses, perceived inequities between different parts of society, and criticisms of the institutions' record in governance. But what options for reform are there, and what impacts might these have if implemented? A newly published report from the Constitution Unit at University College London addresses these questions. It does not draw conclusions, but aims to promote wider, more coherent and better-informed debate.

This public event, hosted in collaboration with the Democracy Unit at Queen’s University Belfast, offered an occasion for such debate. The report’s authors were joined by leading experts to explore the ideas and possible ways forward.

Speakers:

  • Professor Katy Hayward – Professor of Political Sociology, Queen’s University Belfast
  • Professor Alan Renwick – Deputy Director of the Constitution Unit
  • Ann Watt – Director of Pivotal
  • Alan Whysall, Honorary Senior Research Associate at the Constitution Unit

Chair: Professor John Garry, Director of the Democracy Unit, Queen’s University Belfast
