Jack McKee

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cllr Jack McKee is a Unionist politician in Larne, Northern Ireland.

Until his recent resignation from the party, McKee was a Democratic Unionist Party councillor.[1] He is one of the longest serving councillor on Larne Borough Council, like the UUP's Roy Beggs he has served continuously since the council was formed in 1973. He was also elected to the Northern Ireland Forum in 1996 and the Northern Ireland Assembly in 1982.

He served as Mayor of Larne. His brother Bobby McKee is also a DUP councillor in Larne. Jack McKee resigned from the DUP in January 2007 in protest at the DUP's (later demonstrated) willingness to go into Government with the Irish republican political party, Sinn Féin.
