Addie James Morrow (17 July 1928 in County Down, Northern Ireland – 30 March 2012 in County Down)[1] was a politician in Northern Ireland.
Background
Born on a farm in County Down, Morrow was an early member of the ecumenical Corrymeela Community, later led by his brother John.[2][3]
Morrow was an early member of the Alliance Party of Northern Ireland (APNI), and was elected to Castlereagh Borough Council in 1973, holding his seat at each subsequent election,[4] until standing down in 1989.[5]
In 1982, Morrow was elected to the Northern Ireland Assembly, representing Belfast East. At the 1983 general election, he stood unsuccessfully in Strangford, taking 15% of the vote.[6] In 1984, under John Cushnahan, Morrow became APNI's deputy leader.[7]
At the 1987 general election, Morrow increased his share of the vote in Strangford to 20%. For the 1992 general election, he switched to contest North Down, taking just under 15%.[6] Morrow became APNI's chair, but stood down in 1993, citing disappointment at the failure of other parties to use the Brooke-Mayhew Talks to reach agreement.[8] Morrow later became APNI's president.[9] Morrow died on 30 March 2012 in his family home on the farm he was brought up in. He was 83 years old.[10]
