:: Why do the DUP's Trevor and Linda Clarke keep making headlines?
In July, it was revealed Mr Clarke is running a sideline business lobbying on behalf of planning applicants.
The South Antrim MLA earned thousands as a partner in Versatile Consultancy, which has acted as the planning agent for several applications in the Antrim area.
His wife Linda Clarke, a DUP Antrim and Newtownabbey councillor who works in his constituency office, also had involvement in the business. Her mobile number was supplied as a contact for Versatile.
:: So why is this an issue?
Paid advocacy is prohibited under the Stormont assembly code of conduct. They also cannot "misuse" any public resources made available to them.
The former head of a public standards watchdog said it appeared to be a "major conflict of interest" and a breach of the code.
For Mrs Clarke's part, she did not register with the council her links to Versatile.
Under the code of conduct for councillors, they must declare "any employment or business" in which they are involved.
:: How did the Clarkes and DUP respond?
A DUP spokesman for Mr Clarke initially defended the business, saying that Versatile "offers advocacy.. beyond anything offered in the representative role of an MLA".
But as pressure mounted, Mr Clarke said he was suspending Versatile's operations "to avoid any further concern".
The couple insist they "made all the relevant declarations and adhered to all rules".
:: Haven't there been other Clarke controversies recently?
It emerged Mrs Clarke participated in council votes for planning applications Mr Clarke lobbied on in 2017 during a period when he was not an MLA.
Mrs Clarke was also involved in awarding more than £4,500 in council contracts to their son's printing firm which is run from the family home outside Randalstown.
AC Print is also embroiled in a police probe into claims of "dirty tricks" during May's council elections.
A TUV man complained that a DUP mock ballot paper described him as an Alliance candidate. The DUP said it was a "printing error".
The Clarkes are also facing a planning probe over a triple garage built at their home without permission.
:: Are there any other investigations?
While Mrs Clarke is being investigated by a council standards watchdog, Stormont's collapse means there is no watchdog in post to investigate Mr Clarke.
