Timeline

1925

David Wylie Bleakley CBE (11 January 1925 – 26 June 2017) was a politician and peace campaigner in Northern Ireland.

Born in the Strandtown district of Belfast, Bleakley worked as an electrician in the Harland and Wolff dockyards while becoming increasingly active in his trade union.

He studied economics at Ruskin College in Oxford, where he struck up a friendship with C. S. Lewis about whom he later wrote a centenary memoir.

He later attended Queen's University, Belfast.

A committed Christian, he was a lifelong Anglican – a member of the Church of Ireland.

Throughout his life, he was a lay preacher.

1949

Bleakley joined the Northern Ireland Labour Party (NILP) and contested the Northern Ireland Parliament seat of Belfast Victoria in 1949 and 1953 before finally winning it in 1958.

1965

At Stormont, he was made the chairman of the Public Accounts Committee, but he lost his seat in 1965.

1969

Bleakley was head of the department of economics and political studies at Methodist College Belfast from 1969 to 1979.

1970

Bleakley ran for the Westminster seat of Belfast East in 1970 (gaining 41% of the vote), February 1974 and October 1974 for the Northern Ireland Labour Party each time, but never enough to win the Westminster seat from the UUP.

By the late 1970s, the NILP was in disarray, and did not stand a candidate for the 1979 European Assembly election.

Bleakley instead stood as an "Independent Community Candidate", but took only 1.6% of the votes cast.

1971

In 1971, Brian Faulkner appointed him as his Minister for Community Relations at Stormont, but as Bleakley was not an MP, he could only hold this post for six months.

He resigned five days before his term expired in order to highlight his disagreement with government policy, specifically the failure to widen the government to include non-Unionist parties, and the decision to introduce internment.

Bleakley wrote a respectful biography of Faulkner and his own memoir of the period.

After the Parliament was abolished, Bleakley stood for, and was elected to, the Northern Ireland Assembly and its successor, the Northern Ireland Constitutional Convention.

He stood again for Belfast East in the February and October UK general elections, but won only 14% of the vote each time.

1973

Bleakley was appointed to a position as a visiting professor in the University of Bradford's Department of Peace Studies by Professor Adam Curle soon after the Department's founding in 1973.

1980

During the 1980s, Bleakley sat as a non-partisan member of various quangos.

From 1980 to 1992 he was general secretary of the Irish Council of Churches.

1984

In 1984 received an CBE for his work as chairman of the Northern Ireland Standing Advisory Commission on Human Rights.

1992

In 1992, he joined the Alliance Party of Northern Ireland and was an advisor to the group during the all-party talks.

1996

For the 1996 Northern Ireland Forum election, he was a prominent member of the Democratic Partnership list and stood in Belfast East, but was not elected.

1998
