    # Northern Ireland context

    ## Missed rubbish collection

    The implemented Northern Ireland example is the
    [Belfast missed-bin route](../services/belfast-missed-bin-collection.md),
    provided by [Belfast City Council](../organisations/belfast-city-council.md).
    No Great Britain council rule is carried into this route.

    The selected external complaint route is the
    [Northern Ireland Public Services Ombudsman](../organisations/northern-ireland-public-services-ombudsman.md),
    normally after the council process and final response.

    ## Learning to drive and speeding

    The selected ordinary route is the independent
    [Northern Ireland DVA car-learning route](../services/northern-ireland-learn-to-drive-car.md).
    The exception uses the independently sourced
    [Northern Ireland speeding notice and court route](../services/northern-ireland-speeding-notice.md).
    DVLA/DVSA services, Great Britain section 172 and the England and Wales or
    Scottish court branches are not silently substituted.

    ## Death, notification and estate administration

    The selected route uses [Northern Ireland death registration](../services/northern-ireland-death-registration.md),
    the independently sourced [manual notification route](../services/northern-ireland-death-notifications.md)
    and [Northern Ireland probate](../services/northern-ireland-probate-estate.md).
    Tell Us Once is unavailable for a person living in Northern Ireland, so it is
    not substituted for the Bereavement Service or body-specific notifications.
