    English crown has direct rule over Northern Ireland

    No it doesn't.

    Its Parliament was suspended because it was something like ~50% Sinn Fien and they couldn’t form a government.

    They formed a government in January. The reason they didn't have one prior to that is because Sinn Féin pulled out of the power-sharing agreement with the DUP, mostly over the Cash for Ash scandal (which was as stupid as it sounds), and they failed to reach an agreement to restore it for a long time. Their system of government requires at least the two largest parties to form a coalition government - other parties can join it if they want to - and that has consistently been the DUP and Sinn Féin in recent years.

    Also when the assembly and executive are suspended they're just ruled by the UK government in basically the same way that they rule over England. They aren't directly ruled by the monarch.
