I woke up this morning to the news on the radio that the NI Assembly is going to be restored.

And for a moment, I thought that sounded like good news.

But reading this, it looks like there is some small print. The deal is apparently conditional on the UK government passing new legislation.

What would that legislation have to say? Is it something that feasibly could be passed? Is it something that should be passed? What happens if it isn't?
