Victor Halley (born 1904)[1] was a nationalist trade unionist in Northern Ireland, from West Belfast. A Presbyterian,[1] Halley joined the Independent Labour Party, and when this disaffiliated from the British Labour Party, he became a founder member of the small Socialist Party of Northern Ireland, an integral part of the Northern Ireland Labour Party.[2] He fought for the Republicans in the Spanish Civil War.[3] and was also appointed to the editorial board of the Irish Democrat, a short-lived left-wing journal. Halley soon became closely aligned with Harry Diamond, and in 1944 he was a founder member of the Socialist Republican Party.[4] He stood for the party at the 1946 Belfast Central by-election for the party, but was defeated by Frank Hanna.[5] Halley was also a prominent member of the Amalgamated Transport and General Workers Union, rising to become its Vice-Chairman.[4] References1. ^1 Halley Family 1911 Census Form {{DEFAULTSORT:Halley, Victor}}2. ^[https://web.archive.org/web/20091028150410/http://geocities.com/irelandscw/docs-SPNI.htm Notes on the Socialist Party of Northern Ireland] 3. ^Patrick Byrne, [https://web.archive.org/web/20091028150617/http://geocities.com/irelandscw/docs-RepCong.htm Memories of the Republican Congress 1934-84] 4. ^1 Matt Merrigan, Eagle Or Cuckoo?: The Story of the ATGWU in Ireland 5. ^Northern Ireland Parliamentary Election Results: Boroughs: Belfast 7 : Year of death missing|Irish socialists|Irish trade unionists|Northern Ireland Labour Party politicians|Protestant Irish nationalists|1904 births|Irish Presbyterians |
