George Currie (Northern Irish politician)

George Currie was a Northern Irish politician who served as a Member of Parliament (MP) in the British House of Commons for North Antrim.

Currie was a Unionist politician, representing the Ulster Unionist Party (UUP). He was elected to Parliament in the 1950 general election, succeeding Sir Hugh O'Neill. He held the seat until the 1955 general election when he was defeated by Ian Paisley, who was running as a Protestant Unionist.

Prior to his parliamentary career, Currie was involved in local politics and community affairs in County Antrim. Details of his specific pre-parliamentary activities are limited, but he was known for his strong Unionist views and dedication to representing the interests of his constituents in North Antrim.

His defeat by Ian Paisley marked a significant shift in Northern Irish politics, signaling the rising influence of more hardline and religiously focused unionism. Currie’s tenure in Parliament was relatively short, but he played a role in representing the traditional Unionist perspective during a period of increasing political and social tension in Northern Ireland. After losing his seat, he largely withdrew from public life. Further biographical details, such as his date of birth and death, are currently difficult to ascertain from readily available sources.
