David Trimble: Former Northern Ireland first minister and UUP leader dies

Apr 29,2022 7:00 pm

Lord Trimble, former First Minister of Northern Ireland and Ulster Unionist Party leader, has died.

Lord Trimble, who was 77, led The UUP between 1995 and 2005, and was instrumental in The Negotiation of The Good Friday Agreement - The Peace deal which ended The worst of Northern Ireland 's Troubles.

His efforts won him The Nobel Peace Prize along with SDLP leader John Hume .

Since 2006, he sat in The House of Lords as Baron Trimble of Lisnagarvey.

He was The First Person to serve in The Role of First Minister .

A statement from The UUP said: " It is with great sadness that The Family of Lord Trimble announce that he Passed Away peacefully earlier today following a short illness. "

Current UUP leader Doug Beattie described Lord Trimble as a " political giant".

Lord Trimble's political journey took him from a young hardliner in The 1970s to a unionist leader who compromised to help deliver an executive and assembly at Stormont where unionism and nationalism shared power.

He received much praise, including The Nobel Peace Prize, for helping to bring to an end to decades of violence in Northern Ireland .

But he also came in for sustained criticism from others within political unionism, particularly The Democratic Unionist Party (DUP).

He was criticised for agreeing a deal which allowed Sinn Féin - The political wing of The Ira - to enter into The devolved government while The Ira had not decommissioned its weapons.

In 2005, he lost his House of Commons seat to a DUP challenger and went on to enter The House of Lords where he sat as a Conservative Party peer.
