Beyond Westminster

Mark Devenport | 16:27 UK time, Friday, 4 September 2009

I have been off my usual news beat over the last week recording an extended report for Radio 4's "Beyond Westminster". The programme looks at the state of devolution here and questions whether the system designed by the Good Friday Agreement is a recipe for bad government.

We talk to a mother frustrated by the deadlock over academic selection and residents of the Spring Farm mixed estate in Antrim who are annoyed about the delays in bringing forward a strategy for more sharing and integration. Harry Holland's sister Geraldine McAteer tells me why she believes a devolved justice system might have proved more responsive to her family's concerns than the current arrangement.

You can catch the programme on Radio 4 tomorrow at 11pm, or if you miss it you can listen again via the ´óÏó´«Ã½ I Player.
