  Brian Faulkner - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Faulkner was born in Helen's Bay, County Down, the elder of two sons of James and Lilian Faulkner.
Faulkner became involved in Unionist politics, the first of his family to do so and was elected to Stormont as Ulster Unionist Party MP for the constituency of East Down in 1949.
Faulkner accepted and, until his acrimonious resignation in 1969, revelled and was extremely successful (from his point of view, but was congratulated by others, including the Nationalist opposition for his energetic and sustained approach) in this high profile role.

 Brian Faulkner, Baron Faulkner of Downpatrick - Politics.ie Wiki
Arthur Brian Deane Faulkner, Baron Faulkner of Downpatrick (1922-77), was the last Prime Minister of Northern Ireland before the Parliament of Northern Ireland was prorogued by the British government in March 1972.
Faulkner accepted and, until his acrimonious resignation in 1969, revelled and was extremely successful - from his point of view, but was congratulated by others, including the Nationalist opposition for his energetic and sustained approach - in this high profile role.
In the ensuing leadership contest, Faulkner was again denied the prize when O'Neill gave his casting vote to, James Chichester-Clark, not because the two were related, but because "Faulkner had been stabbing him in the back for longer" (Walker, 2004).

In Aug., 1971, Faulkner began interning suspected IRA members; this and the "Derry massacre" of Jan., 1972, when British troops fired on an illegal Catholic demonstration in Londonderry (now Derry), killing 13, increased the political polarization.
He cooperated in the establishment (1973) of a new provincial legislature and executive board and became head of the board : a coalition of Protestants and Catholics : in Jan., 1974.
When a Protestant general strike crippled the province in May, Faulkner resigned and the government collapsed, resulting in the reimposition of direct British rule.

Not only does he have their examples before his eyes, but he also narrowly escaped a similar fate in the 1970s: An interview conducted by the late (and brilliant) Liam Hourican of RTE tempted him into the indiscretion of saying that he could imagine himself leading the Protesants into a united Ireland.
