David Trimble was a British politician who was the first First Minister of Northern Ireland from 1998 to 2002, and the leader of the Ulster Unionist Party (UUP) from 1995 to 2005.
William and Ivy Trimble were Presbyterians of a lower-middle class who made their home in the city of Bangor in County Down. Trimble was their son.
Between the years 1956 and 1963, he studied at Bangor Grammar School. George Trimble, Trimble’s paternal grandpa, was born in Easkey, which is located in County Sligo. His parents, William Trimble and Mary Burns were parents of George.
Between the years of 1964 and 1968, he attended Queen’s University of Belfast (QUB), where he was honored with the McKane Medal for Jurisprudence during his time there.
He became a Bachelor of Laws after graduating with the highest honors from Queen’s University, which was the first time this had happened at the university in three years (LL.B).
Soon after losing the general election in 2005, Trimble quit his position as head of the Ulster Unionist Party (UUP). In June of 2006, he made the decision to accept a life peerage in the House of Lords, where he would take the title of Baron Trimble, of Lisnagarvey in the County of Antrim.
He did not run for election to the Assembly again when it was ultimately reconstituted in 2007, although he did switch parties, going from the UUP to the Conservative Party.
