Irish language and Ulster Scots legislation has cleared the House of Lords at Westminster:
The legislation will give the Irish language official status, allow the use of Irish in courts and see the appointment of Irish and Ulster Scots/Ulster British commissioners.
It will also allow the secretary of state to intervene in areas relating to the decisions of commissioners, if power sharing is not restored. The legislation had been delayed for months with the government initially agreeing to pass the bill at Westminster last autumn, to resolve a Stormont split on the issue.
