Description
Nationalists, opposed to partition, abstain from taking their seats - so parliament's first sitting at Belfast City Hall is an exclusively unionist affair. Tara and Declan visit Belfast's Theological College, which would become home to the new government, and hear how the promise of a Boundary Commission helped shape the new Northern Ireland.
