Department: Northern Ireland AssemblyPublished: 2010-06-29 21:54:01A portrait of The Rt Hon The Lord Bannside of North Antrim MLA (formerly Rev Dr Ian Paisley) is to hang in Parliament Buildings. The picture, which celebrates Lord Bannside’s time as First Minister, was unveiled today by the Speaker of the Northern Ireland Assembly, Mr William Hay MLA. Speaking before the portrait was unveiled in front of members of the Paisley family, political figures and well wishers, Speaker William Hay said, “I am honoured to be able to unveil this portrait, on behalf of the Assembly Commission and to pay tribute to one of Northern Ireland’s most familiar politicians. “Lord Bannside has received many accolades for his efforts to secure the peace process in Northern Ireland. His time as First Minister was praised widely for showing that co-operation and goodwill could be achieved by those from differing political traditions. “This portrait is a small sign of the respect and affection that the Northern Ireland Assembly has for Lord Bannside .” Lord Bannside has been a Member of the Northern Ireland Assembly since 1998. His historic term as First Minister, following the return of devolution in 2007, came to an end on 5 June 2008. Lord Bannside was painted by Irish artist David Nolan and the painting will hang on the First Floor of Parliament Parliament Buildings, alongside other portraits of First and deputy First Ministers.
