Northern Ireland Parliament (1920)

Northern Ireland Parliament - Belfast (personalities).



Probably elections from May 24; 1920. Series of CUs of politicians; or other civic leaders. Newly-elected representatives to the Parliament of Northern Ireland and other personalities in Belfast. Most of them speak; looking at camera. Then the group pose together; a few women present in the group though I'm sure they are not elected political representatives.



Some more individual CUs follow; then shot of top of government building w/ Union Jack flag (shot emphasising loyalty to England in the North). Pan downward on whole government building. MS people getting out of car; men shake hands; start up steps toward camera.
