Charles McCullough, sometimes known as Charlie McCullough, (c. 1923 – 27 October 2014) was a unionist politician in Northern Ireland. He was born in Belfast. McCullough was based on the Shankill Road.[1] He was a member of the founding executive of Ulster Protestant Action, in 1956.[2] He was elected to Belfast City Council for the group in 1958,[3] topping the poll.[4] He left the group before the next elections, in 1961, joining the Ulster Unionist Party (UUP).[5] Cullough secured re-election under his new party colours and, by 1965, he was the chair of its Improvement Committee. He resigned from this following a dispute over the naming of the Queen Elizabeth Bridge; he had instead hoped it would be named for Edward Carson, and believed that this name had been rejected due to party indiscipline.[6] In 1968, McCullough was elected to the Senate of Northern Ireland.[7] He resigned from the UUP in September 1970,[8] and became a founder member of the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) the following year.[9] The Senate ceased to meet in 1972,[7] and, although McCullough remained a supporter of the DUP, he did not stand in any further elections. On 27 October 2014, he died at the age of 91.[10] References1. ^Ed Moloney and Andrew Pollak, Paisley, p.79 {{DEFAULTSORT:Mccullough, Charles}}2. ^Ed Moloney and Andrew Pollak, Paisley, p.82 3. ^Clifford Smyth, Ian Paisley: Voice of Protestant Ulster, p.9 4. ^Ed Moloney and Andrew Pollak, Paisley, p.89 5. ^Ed Moloney and Andrew Pollak, Paisley, p.100 6. ^Ian Budge and Cornelius O'Leary, Belfast: approach to crisis: a study of Belfast politics, 1613-1970, p.163 7. ^1 "The Northern Ireland Senate, 1921-72", Northern Ireland Elections 8. ^Richard Deutsch, Northern Ireland 1969-73 a chronology of events, p.127 9. ^Official report of debates, Issue 12, Northern Ireland Assembly (1982), p.155 10. ^http://www.newsletter.co.uk/news/shankill-unionist-charles-mccullough-dies-1-6379872 9 : 1920s births|2014 deaths|Democratic Unionist Party members of the Senate of Northern Ireland|Members of Belfast City Council|Members of the Senate of Northern Ireland 1965–69|Members of the Senate of Northern Ireland 1969–73|People from Belfast|Ulster Protestant Action members|Ulster Unionist Party members of the Senate of Northern Ireland |
