The First Executive (1 July , 1998–14 October 2002) was under the terms of the Northern Ireland Act 1998 a power sharing coalition.

Following the first election to the new Northern Ireland Assembly the Ulster Unionist Party, the Social Democratic and Labour Party and Sinn Féin all took up their ministerial posts and formed an executive, the Democratic Unionist Party refused to attend meetings of the Executive Committee in protest at Sinn Féin's participation.

Full power was devolved to the Executive on 2 December 1999, this power was revoked by the Secretary of State on four separate occasions, the first was for a period of 3 months from 11 February 2000–30 May 2000 because of no arms decommissioning the next two times where for periods of 24 hours on 10 August 2001 to help deal with arms negotiations and 21 September 2001 following the Holy Cross dispute.
