Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Hugh Casey is a former politician in Northern Ireland. Casey worked as a community project manager in Lurgan before being elected to Craigavon Borough Council as a Social Democratic and Labour Party councillor in 1989. In 1994, he left the SDLP, after accepting an MBE, claiming that some in the party had ostracised him for accepting a British honour. He stood in Upper Bann as a Labour Coalition candidate for the Northern Ireland Forum in 1996, heading a list which took only 512 votes. Although no Labour Coalition members were directly elected, as the tenth most successful party in the election, they were entitled to two seats in the Forum. These were allocated to Casey and Malachi Curran. In the same year, he became the first Catholic Mayor of Craigavon. The Coalition soon disintegrated. Casey stood as an independent Labour candidate in the 1997 local elections, but lost his seat in Craigavon
