Frank McCoubrey
Frank McCoubrey (born 5 February 1967) is a Unionist politician and loyalist in Northern Ireland, as well as a community activist and researcher. He is a leading member of the Ulster Political Research Group (UPRG) and a member of Belfast City Council, representing the Court area as a Democratic Unionist Party (DUP) councillor.〔(Profile on Belfast City Council website )〕 McCoubrey is a native of Highfield, Belfast.〔H. McDonald & J. Cusack, ''UDA – Inside the Heart of Loyalist Terror'', Penguin Ireland, Dublin, 2004, p. 327〕
==Emergence in UPRG==
McCoubrey was first elected to the Council in 1997 as a member of the Ulster Democratic Party〔(Belfast City Council Elections 1993-2005 )〕 and was eventually elected as deputy mayor in 2000, with the votes of the Democratic Unionist Party and Ulster Unionist Party councillors.〔('Hypocrisy' claims over DUP mayor )〕〔(The problem with republicans )〕 Following the collapse of the UDP and the resulting decision of the Ulster Defence Association (UDA) to reconvene the UPRG McCoubrey was chosen along with Sammy Duddy, Frankie Gallagher and Tommy Kirkham to lead the new group.〔H. McDonald & J. Cusack, ''UDA – Inside the Heart of Loyalist Terror'', Dublin, Penguin Ireland, 2004, p. 366〕 McCoubrey became one of the leading figures in the UPRG and even joined Kirkham and Gallagher in meeting Irish Taoiseach Bertie Ahern in 2004, along with UDA leader Jackie McDonald and prisoners' spokesman Stanley Fletcher in a 'historic' event.〔(Ahern's loyalist meeting 'amicable' )〕
In his role as a councillor McCoubrey opened early channels between loyalism and Sinn Féin, joining UDP colleague John White in holding an unofficial meeting with Alex Maskey in Belfast City Hall in June 2001.〔D. Lister & H. Jordan, ''Mad Dog'', Edinburgh: Mainstream, 2004, p. 306〕 McCoubrey also led a campaign in 2003 to bring Gerry Adams to trial for violation of the human rights of the people of the Shankill. McCoubrey, who organised a petition to this effect, argued that Adams' and Sinn Féin's policy of abstentionism meant that the people of the Shankill were being denied representation and sought to bring a case to the European courts in order to alter the situation.〔(Adams may face court over 'forgotten constituents' )〕 Ultimately, however, nothing came of the initiative.
