Northern Ireland remained under British rule with a devolved government, but the 26 southern counties declared independence from the United Kingdom and established themselves as the Irish Republic (later, as a result of the Anglo-Irish Treaty, the Irish Free State and today's Republic of Ireland). Some provisions of the Act relating to Northern Ireland's devolved government were suspended during the Troubles; the Act was repealed in its entirety by the Good Friday Agreement in 1998.
