The Northern Ireland Assembly is to go online in the autumn with a special Internet link for schools. The Deputy First Minister, Mr Seamus Mallon, revealed plans yesterday to set up a website and interactive Internet service from Stormont. The SDLP deputy leader said: "By the autumn, there will be 1,300 Northern Ireland schools linked to the Net, and once devolution has taken place I want to offer all schools a site location where we will be able to respond to questions from pupils."
