Queen's University of Belfast (QUB), was a former potential Dáil Éireann parliamentary constituency. It was a Dáil constituency 1919-1922. ==Representation== Queen's University of Belfast was a former United Kingdom Parliament constituency. It was represented by one member from 1918 until 1950. The University sent four MPs to the Northern Ireland House of Commons 1921-1969. The University was, in Irish republican theory, entitled to return one Teachta Dála (known in English as a Deputy) in 1918 to serve in the Irish Republic's First Dáil. Sinn Féin used the UK general election in 1918 to elect the Dáil. The revolutionary body assembled on 21 January 1919. The list of members read out on that day included everyone elected in Ireland. Only the Sinn Féin Deputies participated in the Dáil, but the other Irish MPs could have done so if they had chosen to adhere to the Republic. The First Dáil, passed a motion at its last meeting on 10 May 1921, the first three parts of which make explicit the republican view. # That the Parliamentary elections which are to take place during the present month be regarded as elections to Dáil Éireann. # That all deputies duly returned at these elections be regarded as members of Dáil Éireann and allowed to take their seats on subscribing to the proposed Oath of Allegiance. # That the present Dáil dissolve automatically as soon as the new body has been summoned by the President and called to order. The Second Dáil first met on 16 August 1921, thereby dissolving the First Dáil. Sinn Féin had decided to use the polls for the Northern Ireland House of Commons and the House of Commons of Southern Ireland as an election for the Irish Republic's Second Dáil. No actual voting was necessary in Southern Ireland as all the seats were filled by unopposed returns. Except for Dublin University all other constituencies elected Sinn Féin TDs. As with the First Dáil, Deputies from all parties could have joined the Dáil if they chose, but only the Sinn Féin members did. From the Third Dáil onwards the Dáil represented only the twenty-six counties which formed the Irish Free State. In the Second Dáil there were deemed to be four Deputies elected from the Queen's University, but none took their seat. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Queen's University of Belfast (Dáil Éireann constituency)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
