Thomas Passmore (1931–1989) was a unionist politician in Northern Ireland. Born in Belfast, Passmore worked as a salesman. In 1973, he became Grand Master of the City of Belfast Grand Orange Lodge. He also became Chairman of the Woodvale Unionist Association and a Justice of the Peace.[1] In 1976, Irish Republican Army (IRA) members killed his father in an attack which Passmore claimed was aimed at him.[2] In 1977, he gave a speech attacking the United Unionist Action Council and its plans for a general strike, claiming that it had been in discussions with the IRA.[3] Passmore was the Ulster Unionist Party candidate for Belfast West at the 1979 UK general election, taking second place and almost a quarter of the votes cast. He was then elected to the Northern Ireland Assembly, 1982, representing Belfast West.[4] He stood again for the Westminster seat at the 1983 UK general election, but his share of the vote fell back to only 5.5%.[5] References1. ^The Times Guide to the House of Common: May 1979, p.49 {{s-start}}{{s-par|ni/ass82}}{{s-new | Assembly }}{{s-ttl2. ^David McKittrick, Lost Lives, p.673 3. ^"A Chronology of the Conflict - 1977", CAIN Web Service 4. ^West Belfast 1973-82, Northern Ireland Elections 5. ^West Belfast 1983-92, Northern Ireland Elections | title = MPA for West Belfast | years = 1982–1986 }}{{s-non | reason = Assembly abolished }}{{s-end}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Passmore, Thomas}} 5 : 1931 births|1989 deaths|Northern Ireland MPAs 1982–86|People from Belfast|Ulster Unionist Party politicians |
