Despite widespread opposition, the bill has now been put into British law by its King.
It contains provisions for immunity from prosecutions to those accused of killings during The Troubles and will also stop any new Troubles-era court cases and inquests from being held.
In a statement this morning, the British Secretary of State Chris Heaton-Harris says now that the legislation has become law there.
There's opposition from all sides and victims families - while the Government here is awaiting legal advice over concerns about human rights.
