The fire just came through here like a locomotive. The firefighters said it was moving faster than they could drive. It was really scary.
"Martin Morgan" is a former Northern Ireland/Northern Irish politician for the Social Democratic and Labour Party (SDLP).
Married to Dympna, a double graduate from the Queen's University of Belfast and a qualified Master's Level Social Worker, Morgan was a political activist from his teenage years onwards.
A former Vice-Chairperson of the SDLP and Executive member. He was a councillor on Belfast City Council until Northern Ireland local elections, 2005/2005. Morgan was the youngest Nationalist and Catholic to be elected Lord Mayor of Belfast. He stood for the party in the 2004 European Parliament elections. He was the youngest ever Belfast councillor when first elected.
He questioned, but abided by, SDLP support for the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI).
The PSNI was accused by Morgan and representatives of the local community of using heavy-handed policing to force an Orange Order parade through the mainly Catholic Ardoyne area of North Belfast. Morgan left the SDLP after seeing out his third term of office.
He writes a weekly "Straight Talking" column in the Belfast newspaper North Belfast News. This column deals with current affairs, political and social responsibility matters, particularly but not exclusively in North Belfast.
