Two years later he was elected to the Northern Ireland Assembly, which on this occasion Sinn Féin did not boycott.[5] Maskey's growing political profile led him to contest the Belfast South constituency in the 2001 general election as part of Sinn Féin's strategy of building up their vote in one of their weaker constituencies.[6] In the local elections held on the same day he switched to the Laganbank area of South Belfast and won a seat there.[7] In 2002 Maskey became the first ever republican to serve as Lord Mayor of Belfast.[3] His first duty in office was to open the annual Presbyterian General Assembly despite being a non-Presbyterian.[8] Maskey garnered general praise when as part of his duties as Lord Mayor in July 2002 he laid a wreath in memorial of British soldiers who died in the First World War. However he declined to attend the main memorial ceremony, stating that it was "the military commemoration of the Battle of the Somme".[9] In his office he flew the British Union Jack and the Irish tricolour side by side.[10] In the 2003 Assembly election Maskey stood in South Belfast again and won Sinn Féin's first seat there with a boost in the vote share. He contested the seat in the 2005 general election with the vote share down on the Assembly elections, losing to the Social Democratic and Labour Party candidate, Alasdair McDonnell.[6] Assassination attemptMaskey was targeted for assassination on at least one occasion[11][12] HealthOn Christmas Day, 2005, Maskey suffered a heart attack while with his family. Several weeks later he appeared on BBC Radio Ulster to talk about his health.[13] Later yearsIn 2006 he participated in the negotiations resulting in the Basque nationalist organisation ETA truce announced on 22 March.[14] On 23 April 2007 he was announced as one of three Sinn Féin members who would sit on the re-vamped Northern Ireland Policing Board.{{cn|date=August 2017}} Maskey resigned from Belfast City Council in October 2010, as part of Sinn Féin's policy of abolishing double jobbing.[15] References1. ^{{cite web|title=Alex Maskey|url=http://www.belfastcity.gov.uk/councillors/councillors.asp?id=23&areaid=5&menuitem=5|publisher=Belfast City Council|accessdate=24 February 2007|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20071023062540/http://www.belfastcity.gov.uk/councillors/councillors.asp?id=23|archivedate=23 October 2007}} 2. ^1 2 {{cite web|title=Biographies of Prominent People|url=http://cain.ulst.ac.uk/othelem/people/biography/mpeople.htm#maskey|publisher=Conflict Archive on the Internet |date= |accessdate=23 February 2007|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070205092334/http://cain.ulst.ac.uk/othelem/people/biography/mpeople.htm|archivedate=5 February 2007|deadurl=no}} 3. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite web|title=From barman to Belfast's first citizen|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/northern_ireland/2027335.stm|work=BBC News|date=5 June 2002|accessdate=23 February 2007}} 4. ^{{cite web|title=Northern Ireland Assembly Elections 1982|author=Nicholas Whyte|url=http://www.ark.ac.uk/elections/fa82.htm|publisher=ARK|date=25 March 2003|accessdate=23 February 2007|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070213021450/http://www.ark.ac.uk/elections/fa82.htm|archivedate=13 February 2007|deadurl=no}} 5. ^{{cite web|title=West Belfast|author=Nicholas Whyte|url=http://www.ark.ac.uk/elections/awb.htm|publisher=ARK |date=3 June 1998|accessdate=24 February 2007|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070404234209/http://www.ark.ac.uk/elections/awb.htm|archivedate=4 April 2007|deadurl=no}} 6. ^1 {{cite web|title=South Belfast|author=Nicholas Whyte|url=http://www.ark.ac.uk/elections/asb.htm|publisher=ARK|date=3 June 1998|accessdate=24 February 2007|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070404230352/http://www.ark.ac.uk/elections/asb.htm|archivedate=4 April 2007|deadurl=no}} 7. ^{{cite web |title=Alex Maskey|url=http://www.sinnfein.ie/elections/candidate/50 |publisher=Sinn Féin|accessdate=23 February 2007|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20051104193548/http://sinnfein.ie/elections/candidate/50|archivedate=4 November 2005}} 8. ^{{cite web|title=Presbyterians welcome Lord Mayor Alex Maskey|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/northern_ireland/2037299.stm|publisher=BBC News|date=10 June 2002|accessdate=24 February 2007}} 9. ^{{cite web|title=Maskey marks Somme with wreath|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/northern_ireland/2076528.stm|publisher=BBC News|date=1 July 2002|accessdate=23 February 2007}} 10. ^{{cite web|title=Tricolour raised in City Hall|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/northern_ireland/2236626.stm|publisher=BBC|date=4 September 2002|accessdate=27 July 2012}} 11. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2008/oct/26/northernireland-northernireland|title=Payout for an attack that never was|first=Malachi|last=O'Doherty|date=25 October 2008|website=Theguardian.com|accessdate=19 August 2017|via=The Guardian}} 12. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/security-services-tried-to-kill-me-says-belfast-mayor-130649.html|title=Security services tried to kill me, says Belfast mayor|date=15 June 2002|website=Independent.co.uk|accessdate=19 August 2017}} 13. ^{{cite web|title=Ex Belfast mayor discharged after heart attack|url=http://archives.tcm.ie/breakingnews/2005/12/30/story237282.asp|publisher=TCM Archives|date=30 December 2005|accessdate=23 February 2007|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070929083108/http://archives.tcm.ie/breakingnews/2005/12/30/story237282.asp|archivedate=29 September 2007}} 14. ^{{cite web|title=Sinn Féin 'involved in ETA move'|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/northern_ireland/4840514.stm|publisher=BBC News|date=24 March 2006|accessdate=23 February 2007}} 15. ^"Alex Maskey Belfast's first republican mayor quits council seat", Belfast Telegraph, 13 October 2010.
